a person who overly emphasizes minor details or rules, often displaying a pretentious or excessive concern for academic correctness
A pedant is a person who is overly concerned with small details, rules, or formalities, especially in learning or education. This individual often insists on precision or correctness in areas that others might consider less important, and may focus on showing off their knowledge, sometimes to the point of being annoying. A pedant may come across as rigid or excessively concerned with academic accuracy rather than practical understanding or social interactions.
