Why do you cal him a pseudo pendantic faggot? Wouldn't pedantic fit just fine?
Or am I being pedantic now?

>> No.3913273

>>3913265
well, a pedant was (among other things) a harsh schoolmaster, so someone who's a pedant without having the knowledge of a pedant would be a pseudopedant I think
there are rules on whether that should be hyphenated or not but they're not known to me right now
