I don’t know if you’re aware of what the word ‘pedantry’ is, but basically it’s when you force your own high-minded knowledge and life-regulations on other people, such as condescendingly rubbing people’s faces in the meaning of the word ‘pedantry’.
To further illustrate the concept for you before tearing those little training wheels right off, I could perhaps explain that George F. Walker wrote a play once called “Zastrozzi: the Master of Discipline”. I could also elucidate you regarding the play’s staging last summer at Granville Island’s prestigious Waterfront Theatre.
Local Celebrity level Vancouver Actors were in this thing, and the most Locally Celebrated one of them all was named Marco Soriano. He played Zastrozzi – the coveted title role.
I wasn’t in this play. But I did get in there with familiar TRC faces James Simpson and Mike Cope to KILL OFF Marco Soriano, and document the grizzly aftermath.
What you have in front of you is the resultant YouTube’d film – almost 40 minutes in length and almost 4 of those actually amusing.
It’s guffaws at 700 feet as The Rubber Chicken troupe takes to the skies.

The medical community had hoped to name this illness after a popular film director, but the lawyers of Skywalker Ranch pointed out that there were already, like, six George Lucas jokes in this random fact rotation.
