: I was playing someone the other day, throwing out my usual assortment of silly obscure words. I did some chemical term like ALANINE... which isn't all that obscure... whereupon they made some comment about how well I used the dictionary. As it usually does, this sort of accusation annoyed me and I began mentioning how ALANINE is one of those terms that is acceptable with or without E... like GUANIN/GUANINE, STEARIN/STEARINE, ALKALIN/ALKALINE... simply to show this character maybe I actually KNOW these words. (aside from the lightning speed I know started to play at, which precluded the possibility of referring to outside sources!)
: Then he says... "I'm not enjoying this anymore..." and quits, calling me a pedant as he leaves.
: Either you're a cheat or a pedant here, I guess!!

Now *THAT'S* funny. caling someone a cheater for using obscure (only if you never read the ingredients on a can of Diet Coke...) words... then calling them a pedant.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

See ya out there!
