Shallow and pedantic.
We insist upon ourselves.
It is a pedantic pandemic.

I tend to be pretentious and condescending.
Pedantic? MOI? Just because Alessan messing up the quote of Freddy the Pig drove me bonkers?
With your head tilted back and looking down over your nose, of course! 
What key?
Besides which, even if his surname were Who (for example, if he were related to a famous baseball player at first base), it’d be “Dr Who” not “Dr. Who” because the show is British.
Pedantry or pedanticism? Enquiring minds need to know.
Is that true? Why?

OP, feather or dot?
There is a different convention for an abbreviation versus a contraction in British usage. An abbreviation is a truncation, like “Prof.” for “Professor”, while “Mister” gets contracted to “Mr” (without what they call a “full stop” at the end) because the first and last letters remain the same. In US usage either one would get a period.
Does that mean Dr Pepper is British?
Dot.
Jeez! It really isn’t that difficult.
The question is like a ten year-old asking what’s so great about an orgasm…on the Straight Dope whatever is in second place to being the most correct is so far behind no one cares that it was a pretty good answer.

Before I can address the O.P.'s question, I need clarification concerning his or her use of the pronoun “you”. Is the word being used to indicate the second person singular or the second person plural? I.e., is the O.P. asking for an explanation as to why each individual Doper is pedantic, or is the O.P. asking for an explanation as to why Dopers as a group are pedantic?
