pedantry

[Kalahari Inkantation]

What petty things are you perhaps unreasonably pedantic about?

for example, i screech whenever i see someone use 2k to mean 2.5k (as in, the 1440p video resolution)

also, the sm*rtasses who pluralize octopuses """octopi""" because it sounds correct

it isn't

When people get triggered by what I say, and then tell me I'm the one being petty.

i will admit to abusing the word literally a lot

i would argue that your other three grammatical examples are all too practical to be considered pedantic, but then again, i'm extremely pedantic

i could see myself irritating a hrdxxre music person to figurative death out of ignorance with little mistakes like that last one lol

being wrong

[snoorkel]

the whole "have been" thing, when you're talking about a locale or a destination and someone says they "have been" with no other words after that. I am highly averse to British-isms and infiltration of Euro culture in general so I always make a point to look confused/offended and prompt the individual to explain what they have been, exactly...?

We won't even go into other Britishisms

[YPrrrr]

As in I have been there? Is that what you mean? Befuddlement

these ones get me
also when people refer to any Disney park as "Disney" instead of saying "Disneyland", "Disney World" etc

[Mando Pandango]

i'll use any excuse i can to get pedantic as fuck tbh

I most often find myself biting my tongue on "less" vs. "fewer" though.

[Hiro]

i couldn't care fewer

I have been THERE, correct

also every time i see the wrong resolution being used on a family member's tv i always have to offer to fix it, otherwise i can't sleep knowing that the image is so badly distorted

[TooB]

What about a 16:9 image on a 4:3 screen?
