Some of what’s here is diacritics, not punctuation. But it would be pedantic to point that out: A Brief Guide to Band Name Punctuation.

  1. Dear English Prof,

    Is it pedantic to ask why you wrote pendantic instead of pedantic?

  3. And I’m owning my mistake: there’s now a record of it here. As my great friend Aldo Carrasco wrote after misspelling a word when inscribing a book, “In true Eliot-like, ‘Four-Quartetish’ self-effacement, I doctor not my mistake; but, rather, share it.”
