disapproval If you say that someone is a pedant, you mean that they are too concerned with unimportant details or traditional rules, especially in connection with academic subjects. I am no pedant and avoid being dogmatic concerning English grammar and expression. someone who pays too much attention to rules or to small unimportant details, especially someone who criticizes other people in an extremely annoying way (pédant, from pedante, perhaps from paedagogus; PEDAGOGY)
{i} meticulous person, fastidious person; strict person, fussy person; person who strictly adheres to information in books without using common sense
