Re: BIND Woes A Second Thought

Sounds about right, my generation di not want to be accused of  being pedants so we (or our previous generation) made up a new word.  Meaning of pendantic stays the same "Not trying to be an asshole but, making a point here!"

PS

This whole discussion goes to the heart of my post.  I am not trying to be an asshole, just telling someone that they ain't helping the discussion!

When I first saw it in school back in the "Gasp" 60's it
was a polite way of saying "not trying to be an asshole"
but, I have been described as that many times.

I was wondering what this word means. It means
absolutely nothing because it is not a word. This was
also the first time I had heard of pedantic.
      

Here is an interesting read on it from:
