Oh Yea what the heck does pedantic mean?

Basically, it means "characteristic of the kind of person who would know the meaning of the word pedantic." Someone like me. A nit-picker. Someone who has to try really hard not to correct mistakes that don't affect the real meaning of the discourse.

or as wiktionary put it in part "Being showy of one’s knowledge, often in a boring manner."

That made me literally laugh out loud, because it's so perfectly true.

The problem is, I'm not as young as all that. And the girl in the bookstore, while maybe not quite young enough to be my daughter, is certainly young enough to be my neice. I've dated a woman half my age before, and while it had its interesting moments....

I did that once. And for the whole evening I kept hearing Steely Dan's "Hey Nineteen" in my head... <sigh>
