I believe that
it's important to stamp out the cursed use of 'of' in this way. And I will stand by my beliefs until a girl walks past...

Do an English degree.

i like the way the sentence is constructed,

that's not pedantry
it's only pedantry when it's annoying
(qdamik, Fri 26 Nov 2004, 18:01, archived)

No, no.
The true definition of pedantry includes any concentration on the trivial aspects of formal rules, even if it is moderately useful and interesting and not at all annoying, like this comment I am making here.
