I hesitate to correct an English "authority", but it looks like "PENDANTRY"
is not a word.  I assume you meant "PEDANTRY".  If so, maybe there is a
comp.lang.english.spelling you can subscribe to.

The only person I see being pedantic is you, Robert.

I agree - your original posting was in bad form.

How interesting.  We have here a textbook example of a run-on sentence.  You
might consider looking for comp.lang.english.punctutation too.
> but we are talking about someine being considered for studenthood, so
I see another misspelling here - the word "someine".  Again, I suggest
you look for comp.lang.english.spelling.
I have found the various discussions in this group to be very enlightening.
However, I can certainly live without postings from jerks like Eachus who
merely waste space on the net.
