For a while I've been impressed by how much this group knows.  And how
much it *thinks* it knows.  And by what mediaeval means those in
Category A dispose of Category B.  Into which this mole has, on
occasion, been unwise enough to fall with a resounding *splat*.[1]

So, with apologies to Lennon and McCartney, and to the legions of others
who have trod this turf before me, herewith another filk.

======================================

Pedantry, 
Curse of half the posts on a.f.p.,
Now it looks as though it's got to me,
Oh, I've been caught by pedantry.

Suddenly, 
I'm not half the mole I used to be,
With corrections hanging over me,
Oh, pedantry came suddenly.

Why they had to change my text, 
I'm perplexed, 
they wouldn't say;
I wrote something wrong, 
now I long 
For yesterday.

Pedantry
Feels quite different when they pedant me,
Now I need a hole to which to flee [2]- 
Oh, I've been caught by pedantry.

[1] I'd be interested to see someone pedant Tamar, Gideon or Eelco
successfully...
