 That's better than the social handicap of OCP. I suspect that Thomas is not
really able to control the urge to correct even minor cases of imprecise
expression. You should not mock him for it. It is in no way cool or
desirable to be socially handicapped by the uncontrollable desire to
correct people, whenever they say something technically incorrect. 

 I am a long time sufferer of this irrational desire to pick up even the
tiniest nit. Although I'm now able to withstand the desire to argue over the
directionality of rebate percentages or KiB/KB, it has still cost me a
divorce and another broken relationship to get to my present state.

 Don't get me wrong. As this is not my own OCP, I can also see the hilarity.
I also have the occasional urge to fight Thomas over an unpicked nit. But
please -- consider whether you want to stroke your ego, or increase the S/N
ratio. If you want to achieve the latter, please refrain from picking at the
same sore spot.
