...To be 'appropriately concerned' about correctness of detail is not pedanticism.
"Pedantry" :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Yes, that is an alternative word, but ...
pedanticism
1. the character or practices of a pedant, as excessive display of learning.
2. a slavish attention to rules, details, etc; pedantry. — pedant, n. — pedantic, adj.

Kind Regards, John.
 
The Concise Oxford Dictionary uses "pedantry". Not using an American dictionary are you John? :)

Quite possibly, I just used Mr Google's first hit :) I must confess that I use both words, and wouldn't have had a clue as to which is more 'correct'!

Kind Regards, John.

I think so Securespark, got a little bit too technical for me along the way, but interesting to see a large amount of Pro's expressing an interest in the subject. Really is a fantastic site for DIY'ers like myself and great that you all take your time out to help people like me :D
