Well, I guess so. But does that then imply that I'm *not* a pedant, on

Alternatively, I could raise the stakes by querying your use of 'like'. Shouldn't 'looks like I qualify' be 'looks as if I qualify'?

However, when I use the word pedant, I generally mean someone who's
fussier than me.

That should be "than I".

Looks like I qualify.
