Actually by posting this you already have started a thread for pedants and nitpickers. It would have been better to say, "I'm starting a thread for pedants and nitpickers."

LMAO :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Critiquers are prone to nitpicking,
But rarely nitpick while picnicking.
So on a field day,
They picnic and play,
And forgo their nitpick critiquing.

For Fed, prized nitpicker.
