    pedant /pĕd′nt/

    noun

    1. One who ostentatiously exhibits academic knowledge or who pays undue attention to minor details or formal rules.

    It was 't a mistake. I used an adjective which describes the pattern on my cat. Your argument is entirely pedantic.

      You used an adjective that describes a pattern that isn’t on your cat. That’s not a minor detail of your post. You’re the one trying, and failing, to be a pedant.
