I was referring to me, actually, no offense. And I'm a heckuva grammar and spelling nazi too, I just never post about it. I'm still working on the mind control thing, though.

BTW, Loughner wasn't alone in his conviction that thought can be controlled by grammar. The whole political correctness movement on the Left is driven by the conviction that by controlling vocabulary they're controlling language and hence controlling thought. Some surprisingly educated people - mostly postmodernists - fail to draw the distinction. George Lakoff - the "Tea Party Murders" guy - has made a career out of it.

This one doesn't fall under that category, though. There isn't any political gain by calling magazines, magazines, but there is by calling abortion "pro-choice".

Hmm...now this post is pedantic... ;-)

I agree with everything you say there, so I guess the pedantic shoe fits me as well....no offense intended.
