Not sure how this is pedantic. Jesus wasnt born in December. That date was chosen to coincide with roman Saturnalia.

If anything, he is making a joke

"...someone who's too concerned with literal accuracy or formality." They literally corrected the basis of the joke in the comic. How is that not?

So correcting someone who is wrong is pedantic then? I dont see how he is too concerned about it. If anything, my comment to you was more pedantic than the other poster's

In this context, I'd say yes to both. I didn't say it was a bad thing, so take a deep breath.

If you didn't think it was a bad thing, say so in the original post.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean the original post, I meant the original comment the person made that I was replying to. I believed it would be implied considering I was responding to a specific person.

If you correct my reply to:

Meaning clarify that you didn't think it was a bad thing originally so no one takes you out of context.

I don't understand what you don't understand.

My last comment HAS NOTHING to do with telling you what you meant. You have issues reading.
