Easy For Me to Say
There's this guy at work who mispronounces "pedantic." He says "pendantic," as if referring to something worn around the neck. He uses the word all the time, in place of "condescending," "picky," "contrary," "instructional." It's a favorite on calls with the execs when ranting self-assuredly. While sketching report groupings on the whiteboard. When apologetically delegating work to his team.
I feel bad and I really want to tell him it's "pedantic," but that joke tells itself.
