You're a bit pernickety.

I'm a live and let live kind of girl -- must have to do with my idealism . . .

I'm surprised I got as high as 31%.

But I've been feeling quite indifferent in general today, so maybe check back with me next week.

You're strict like a schoolteacher - should be "You're strict as a schoolteacher" or "You're strict, like a schoolteacher" Yes/No?

You're a bit pernickety - probably better as "You're a little pernickety" Yes/No? (Or "a little bit"?)

You're a bit nitpicky - hmmm, "You're a bit of a nitpicker"?

Each summary sentence contains an error - damned annoying too!

Shouldn't that be persnickety?

Just sayin'...

Wow, so you've really taken the "let go and let God" thing seriously :)

Only in the USA apparently. Although there is some confusion.

While I don't call my higher power "God" **, I do look to see my part in any altercation/disagreement/discussion. I don't waste my time nor inner peace on resentments and grudges.

** As a recovering Catholic, when I hear/use the term God, I get an image of Charlton Heston with a beard and robes with a staff kstanding on a mountain shooting lighting bolts down on the little boy who was caught passing notes in class. But hey, that's just me, to each his own.
