I hate it when we are separated by a common language...

Petty \Pet"ty\ (p[e^]t"t[y^]), a. [Compar. Pettier
   (p[e^]t"t[i^]*[~e]r); superl. Pettiest.] [OE. petit, F.
   petit; probably of Celtic origin, and akin to E. piece. Cf.
   Petit.]
   Little; trifling; inconsiderable; unimportant; also,
   inferior; subordinate; as, a petty fault; petty complaints

Different people interpret words differently.  In this case, it looks
like the intent was to use the meaning 'unimportant', but was
interpreted as 'inferior'.  These meanings have different implications.

Please, no further comments about this.
