Lovely,
So this is you...
Pedant Troll[^]. In his imagination, pedant troll is the very exemplar of reason, balance and moderation. He feels effortlessly superior to the ridiculous, extremist, purblind fool whose blog he haunts, and whom he likes to put down with his killer sarcasm, weapons-grade pedantry and niggling little quibbles masquerading as constructive criticism. If he were really as brilliant as he thinks he is, he would at the very least have a major blog of his own by now, and more likely be King of the World. Strangely, he has yet to achieve either of these things.

Maybe, but I wouldn't call you an extremist purblind fool.
I was thinking more along the lines that code doesn't tolerate fuzzy and that we drive users nuts when we harass them for clarification on their loose requirements language.

Believe me, that was deliberate. Also, you may want to remove extra " from your reply.
And no, I am not being pedantic.

If there's one thing I can't stand it's nit-picking pedantry.

Why the colon? Surely if it's part of a numbered list you should have a period instead of a colon, no? Also should a numbered list have a period at the end of each list item?

Moneylender - Swindler. Cheats on borrowers (take their penny) for this financial gain(improve their position)
Rough guess I know 
Beauty cannot be defined by abscissas and ordinates; neither are circles and ellipses created by their geometrical formulas.

Could be usurpers.
Moneylenders = usurers
Add a p (penny)
Usurpers could be considered as improving their position.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

Having been deemed guilty of false advertising, Red Bull has decided to settle in a $13M class-action lawsuit. Merely buying a can of the stuff between Jan 1, 2002 and Oct 3,2014 entitles one to a $10 refund.
I think the claim-form server needs to drink a red-bull or 20, having been lethargic for over 24 hours now.
"Careathers, a Red Bull drinker, claims that the drink maker misled him and other consumers with its slogan "Red Bull gives you wings." He says the company advertised some of the benefits of drinking Red Bull include increased performance, concentration and reaction speed. Of course, none of this was ever proven or backed up by scientific evidence."

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

I don't mind energy drinks having a bit less caffeine as there is so much sugar in them that the mix of both
wakes me up pretty well when I choose to drink it. Maybe it is just psychological but it does work 
As to giving you wings, I hope people trying to fly will realise that if you are not sure if you can fly or not,
you should try off the ground first, before leaping down tall buildings
P.S. : Which slogan isn't meant to mislead the consumer ?

Apparently many people in QA asking questions are misled by CPs slogan.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Flying is easy - just aim for the ground and miss.

Hold on , I submitted a complaint to the advertising standards authority in the UK saying precisely that years ago . Coincidence or not , the written advertising then changed to 'Red Bull gives you wiings' .
|

These type of lawsuits are ridiculous.
Just like people who sue McDonald's because the coffee was hot, or people suing tobacco companies because they got cancer. Did they really think that Red Bull was going to make them Superman!?
I see stupid people.
