So I was writing an email to a person about an inconsequential and picky little distinction dealing with payroll and realized that I am slowly becoming a pedant. Being a pedant I wanted to clarify the definition for myself so I googled it and then emailed the definition along with my original email for the edification of my coworkers.

Little did I realize that there are multiple definitions for this most confusing of words.

Do you feel the slight tingling prickle of my post?
