At the request of [livejournal.com profile] rochvelleth, I put a call out for people who like flirting via pendanticism; it had not previously occured to me other such people might exist. I have permission to quote her: "The morphology of plural endings is just so fascinatingly sexy, isn't it? ::flutters eyelashes::"

<Simpsons>Rochvelleth, your etymolgy is showing!</Simpsons>

Edith, does your name's gender differ from its sex, or are you just pleased to see me?

Pedantry, not pedanticism.

Occurred, not occured.

I'm not sure I'd call it "sexy", but it is distinctly funky.

Etymology, not etymolgy. And it would be more embarrassing if one's entomology were to show.

Well, you asked. Apparently I'm pathologically unable to flirt, though, so I cannot join your merry band of pedantic flirts.

Entomology? There has to be a "the study of insex" joke here...

Yes, but it's quite bad.
