Kaitlyn: I totally see the dangling threads in Arrival, and in a more pedantic conversation, I think they'd be fun to tug at.

I think we used to try to make points ... I remember the early seasons, we were more pedantic, or we felt like we had to make a point.

Clearly, the scanners that the TSA use can see through magical deception, and Cordon does a hilarious job parodying some of the more pedantic aspects of the airport security theater.

The more pedantic forms of language scolding on Twitter can come across as coastal Ivy League whites trying to absolve themselves of their privilege by wielding it against poorer, less worldly and less educated white people.

Even though the book left interviewer Russell Harris with "a haunting feeling", he found the book more "pedantic"Harris, p. 166. than her previous books, and thought that it contained fewer fictional aspects compared to Angelou's other autobiographies. Scholar John C. Gruesser found the conflicts in the book unresolved and the ending "too easily manufactured at the last minute to resolve the problem of the book".Gruesser, John C. (Spring 1990).

All that made the poem of his early manhood charming he rigidly erased. The versification became more pedantic; the romantic and magical episodes were excised; the heavier elements of the plot underwent a dull rhetorical development. During the same year a blank-verse retelling of Genesis, called Le Sette Giornate, saw the light. When mental disorder, physical weakness, and decay of inspiration seemed dooming Tasso to oblivion, his last years were cheered with hope.

That same year the town of Ambato designated Jurado as its Official Chronicler. In addition the local press published three of his books: “Themes in the History of Ambato” (Temas de la historia de Ambato), “Ambatonian Chronicles” (Crónicas de la ambateñía) and “Biographic Dictionary of the Tungurahua (Diccionario biográfico del Tungurahua), of which only the first 50 pages were ever published. He resigned from the post of Official Chronicler after two years, as he did not want to depend on the local authorities. His reasoning was that he would be “less enlightened but more pedantic”.

In most compiled languages, the compiler is free to order the function calls `f`, `g`, and `h` as it finds convenient, resulting in large-scale changes of program memory order. In a functional programming language, function calls are forbidden from having side effects on the visible program state (other than its return value) and the difference in machine memory order due to function call ordering will be inconsequential to program semantics. In procedural languages, the functions called might have side-effects, such as performing an I/O operation, or updating a variable in global program scope, both of which produce visible effects with the program model. Again, a programmer concerned with these effects can become more pedantic in expressing the original source program: sum = f(a); sum = sum + g(b); sum = sum + h(c); In programming languages where the statement boundary is defined as a sequence point, the function calls `f`, `g`, and `h` must now execute in that precise order.

Peers argued that the image of the soldier on the reverse, almost in silhouette, "avoided the usual over-literal depiction of men in uniform, which characterises the more pedantic medals that generally were produced in Australia during and after the war. The almost total emphasis on the outline of the figure allows [Ohlfsen] ... to consider the question of negative, as well as positive, space within the roundel suggesting ... how keenly she attended to the issue of designing for the medal format." Ohlfsen apparently sold hundreds of the medals to Sir Charles Wade, Premier of New South Wales, so that he could sell them in Australia at two guineas each to raise money. They were sold in a box lined with silk and included the dedication "in aid of Australians and New Zealanders maimed in the War—1914–1918". Edward, Prince of Wales received the first medal, and Wade, along with Generals William Birdwood, John Monash, and Talbot Hobbs, joined a committee in 1919 to oversee the distribution."Letters relating to the Dora Ohlfsen ANZAC Medal Fund, 1919".
