Pedants of the world - Revolt! — Making peace with a piece is not as piquing as sneaky peaking
Sue de Groot (Sunday Times and Times Live | Deputy Features Editor and Columnist)

Autocorrect: making Twitter pedants delete and re-tweet since 2007 - Cassandra Page

Pedantry
attitude; human behaviour, displaying obsession with detail or process, often negatively perceived

For the Grammar Nazis and busy spelling-bees out there, Sue de Groot’s ‘Pedant Class’ in the Sunday Times was a main reason for buying the paper.

Now found on the Times Select website, she continues to enthral us with her ‘Word in the Hand’ column.

The English language - as she should be spoken - is a wonderful world of twists and turns, of words that can be bent to your will. But only when done proper like!

We sit down with the self-confessed word nerd and ace columnist to discover what’s getting her hot under the collar.
