Pedantic

Are you one of those people who just can’t help look for errors when reading documents – anydocuments, not just proposals? Me too! In which case, you might like this – from an Observer restaurant review a couple of weekends back from the marvellous Jay Rayner:
There used to be a cartoon stuck to the wall of this newspaper’s office, mocking the deadening effects of the pedantic subeditor. The sub is leaning over the shoulder of a Victorian chap who is scribbling away with a quill. “Come, come, Mr Dickens,” the sub is saying, “it cannot be both the best and the worst of times.”
