@Wen This is somehow both what being female on the Internet feels like a lot of the time and this particular female before she smacks her fingers and tells herself to go touch grass. Inside you there are two wolves, etc.

@Wen So, Trump's elaborate stage setting for his "going down in history" on the steps of his ormolu ballroom will be spoiled by the wrong columns.

@Wen Andrew Brisbane, ladies and gentlemen, voted “Most Likely to Die Alone in a Tea-Spattered Mackintosh While Trainspotting” by his graduating class.

@Wen “would someone please pass the pedanticide? “

@Wen When I'm poked I love to be that much pedantic myself.

@Wen pedantry is one of those things where a small bit of it is annoying, but an exhaustive explication of it is godlike and awesome

@Wen I'm actually more partial to Doric columns. I think they are cleaner, and less likely to become out of style.

@Wen Mr Brisbane should have cut the artist dude some slack. Corinthian capitals are more complicated to draw than Ionic ones and the artist probably wasn't getting paid enough as it was. He should be happy he didn't get stick figures and Doric capitals.

@Wen love it I'm also a big fan of Corinthian columns

@Wen isn't it ionic, don't you think? Anyways, the iony is lost on me.

@Wen the XFiles had am entire episode poking fun at all the entomologist pedants pointing out their many, many, many, ... many entomological faux pas. 😂

@benroyce @Wen reminds me of cartoon. (Which I can't find, so I'll describe it, alt text style) It's a cartoon of a door to a room, and on the door a sign that reads 'Pedants society, meets here every Tuesday.' Attached to that sign is another sign that someone else has added, that reads 'not here exactly, but behind this door.' Then attached to that sign is yet another sign that reads 'not directly behind the door but within the room behind this door!'

@benroyce @Wen exactly, there's always a sign to add to the door

@Wen @Mabande I don't often see "apposite" in the wild. It is what people often mean when they incorrectly use "ironic."
