- Source: Pedantry
Pedantry ( PED-en-try) is an excessive concern with formalism, minor details, and rules that are not important.
Fowler's Concise Dictionary of Modern English (1926) recognised that the term pedantry was "relative" and subjective, stating "my pedantry is your scholarship, his reasonable accuracy, her irreducible minimum of education, and someone else’s ignorance".
