But mundane and tedious are synonyms. You basically just said "he finds a way to make even the most dull conversations dull".

Awww look at him go, putting that college education to good use

He's wrong anyway though. The intended meaning of my sentence, in which I did use both words correctly, was "He finds a way to make even the most ordinary conversations tiresome."

And yes, I tagged you in that quote, because for some reason you found it necessary to quote me in a topic I already posted in

Mundane typically carries a more negative connotation to it, though. Most people use it to mean dull, as with tedious. This is an ordinary person doesnt sound insulting whereas This is a mundane person does.

Your word choice was at the very least awkward.

And Ill never understand people who whine about being tagged. I dont mind when it happens to me because I might forget to check back in and would otherwise miss the post directed at me. Only time itd be senseless is if I were the TC since any new posts would give me a notification.
