“flueknepperi”: danish slang for being overly obsessed with details |
I was recently asked to start blogging in english instead of danish. This makes sense since I start making more online friends these days – I also hope to be able to contribute more back to the various communities I am a part of. “What is the meaning of your blog title” you might think? To me being pedantic is not necessarily a bad thing. Try looking the word up in various dictionaries , and you’ll see that the word “pedant” mostly has negative connotations. From wiktionary : A person who is overly concerned with formal rules and trivial points of learning. That’s me – and a good focus for my blog. “trivial points of learning” are easy to write in a blog entry – and formal rules are interresting to me as a programmer. So I’ll write a lot of small details and trivial things here;) |
