A Pedant is a person who insists on strict adherence to formal rules or literal meaning at the expense of a wider view. Or a person who rates academic or technical knowledge above everything. (From the Oxford dictionary)

@whizz - Indeed. Sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees. I think it's more important that a post is understood rather than technically correct. Of course, correct spelling and grammar may aid in that understanding.
