why not just use the slothmud voting thread instead of starting a new one?

Thanks for your constructive response …
What are you my mother? of all the silly nitpicking comments you could have made that is about the most pernickety I can think of.
While on the subject of voting…
How can we be outvoting everyone on TMC, but can’t even hold onto 18th place on TMS? There’s 2 links people, use them.

btw nice call on the response Brady … if I correct your erroneous definition I too would be being pernickity …
BTW the original word was pernickety and not persnickety. Pernickety goes back a few hundred years, persnickety is an early 20th century word.
[i:2jx9h4x2]““Persnickety” was first documented in English in 1915 as an alteration of “pernickety,” a word that has the same meaning. “Pernickety” goes back to the early 1800s, but from there, the word’s “history” gets messy. Some say “pernickety” might be from a child’s version of “particular”; others, that the “nick” part came from association with “knick-knack.” But it’s all pure conjecture, and no one knows for sure.”[/i:2jx9h4x2]

wow I never knew pernickity was such an unusual word that it could cause more comments than voting, in my experience its just another everyday word.
There are a number of subtlely different definitions on the web, this seems to be the the most common, close to my OED and Chambers dictionaries and exactly the sense in which I used it:
pernickety
adjective (US USUALLY persnickety) DISAPPROVING
giving too much attention to small unimportant details in a way that annoys other people;
finical or finicky:
As a writer, he is extremely pernickety about using words correctly.
finicky
adjective
1 DISAPPROVING difficult to please:
a finicky eater
He’s terribly finicky about his food.
with this great wealth of knowledge, I have no doubt that you could better serve mankind as a door stop, speed bump or even quite possibly a road cone.
live your life to the fullest!
:twisted:
I voted
You rock Auto. If you discount the meanness implied in that comment, the rest of it was quite funny. :)
well charles, i have to maintain a consistant level of sarcasm and evilness. i would truly hate for people to get all soft and comfortable just because i am not around much anymore..
(c) Bringing you hate & loathing since 1973. :twisted:
at last … less than 200 votes till TMC 2nd place :twisted:

I try to vote every day for Sloth. Everyone should too! It only takes 5 seconds and you owe it to the game. :)
He’s implying that you are medicated for a mental disorder of some kind.
No thanks necessary.
