The Human Side of Construction

[whatever]

Perhaps, whatever, but the tone of your original correction to Goldie certainly brings to mind another dictionary definition:

Pedantic: "narrowly, stodgily, and often ostentatiously learned"

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedantic

Ah yes, I'm so ostentatiously learned. I guess after apprenticing as an ironworker I can't help but show off that I know the difference between ironworkers and steelworkers. You'll also have to excuse my narrow-mindedness. After spending a decade in a career one tends to think their job title might actually mean something. But nevermind, I guess I'm a steelworker now. Can I be an electrician next week?
