Pedantic Game Thread

<p>I know everyone on CC is pedantic, so prove it with a pedantic sentence. </p>

<p>I despise the pretentious, loquacious, ostentatious doyens who rule our society with their nefarious, matriarchal tyranny.</p>

<p>Ostonzi pwns StevenSeagal cuz he’s 1337z.</p>

<p>Don’t be jealous</p>

<p>i’m reading a david foster wallace essay on linguistics BOOM</p>

<p>“Loquacious” sounds like a name I should give my first ■■■■■■■ child. </p>

<p>“Loquacious! Girl, come clean your room. And tell your brother Ostentatious to quit making all that damn noise. I’m trying gut this pigeon so that we can eat dinner.”</p>

<p>I think I am officially the dumbest CCer here. I don’t even know what pedantic means. Ill google it eventually.</p>

<p>[The</a> Philosophy of Composition, by Edgar Allan Poe](<a href=“http://www.poeticbyway.com/philo.htm]The”>The Philosophy of Composition, by Edgar Allan Poe)</p>

<p>It will make your eyes bleed and your head hurt.</p>

<p>Aww I messed up, it’s “doyenne,” not “doyen” :(</p>

<p>Here’s a pedantic sentence for ya.</p>

<p>For my own part, I have neither sympathy with the repugnance alluded to, nor, at any time, the least difficulty in recalling to mind the progressive steps of any of my compositions; and, since the interest of an analysis, or reconstruction, such as I have considered a desideratum, is quite independent of any real or fancied interest in the thing analysed, it will not be regarded as a breach of decorum on my part to show the modus operandi by which some one of my own works was put together.</p>

<p>Upon completing the entirety of the undertakings my superiors allocated to me, I found myself both wholly idle and to some extent jaded at my place of vocation.</p>

<p>Had I been able, in the subsequent composition, to construct more vigorous stanzas, I should, without scruple, have purposely enfeebled them, so as not to interfere with the climacteric effect.</p>

<p>I believe John Milton was the first to use the word loquacious.</p>

<p>i write at a 4th grade level and i’m proud</p>

<p>Wow, some of these are good:)
^Lol, no, more like a college level.</p>

<p>Those sentences aren’t really pedantic.</p>
