My friend once put the emphasis on the first syllable of pedantic, and correcting him was probably the single greatest joy I’ve ever felt

So it was ped-antic? I wonder if it's antics by children or pedestrians

He called me PED-an-tic, with the least stress on the middle syllable. It gave me immense pleasure to be able to say “erm, it’s ped-AN-tic…”
