You know what I meant.  I don't mind being corrected, but how about answering the question or saying nothing?

Quite obviously you DO mind being corrected.  And if you think Roberton3 was commenting in order to "show off", you're wrong.  Some people just like to be playful with words.  I, for one, will try to remember that you and FarmBoy take such light-hearted input personally.

I enjoy the word play, too, but mainly when it's clever, funny or both.  For example, th auger/augur one was pretty lame IMHO, while the Death Chart was worthy of it's own thread.  If the sole point of a post is to point out a minor misspelling or typo that doesn't materially change the meaning, what's the point.  On the other hand, it doesn't seem worth getting too offended about.  Pendants gotta be pedantic.

Thank you, Cornfed.  You're absolutely right -- I was attempting to be funny. 

One of the things I love about this board is the way people here play with language.  But evidently not everyone agrees.  I'll be a bit more careful in the future.
