Neat turn of words I saw today on here ..'pedantic rant' . Rather funny ..................since a person writing with passion or just belief in their opinions/perceptions ..with mere enthusiasm, or even strong enthusiasm, might be construed by some as a rant. so 'enthusastic missive' might = pendantic rant, depending perhaps on ones mood and perceptions. Perceptions are just that .. how something appears to someone , not necessarilyrelated to how something actually is. official notice ..this is not a rant thank you. and besides, if we can't tolerate other people's opinions and passions , we're in troubleright there. Warmly, stay sane ! S.
