Puritan 

A person that's literally the king/queen of inferiority that they make themselves feel better by acting morally over the top that they expect everyone to be like them and anyone that dares to differ will be canceled

My puritan friends act like they better than everyone but when they walked downstairs, they saw that me, my friend, and the dog were in fancy clothes, they freaked the fuck out and had a temper tantrum.

A closed-minded person who sees all language in black and white with no exceptions. They are sticklers for one dictionary as their lone authority on every word. They are anal sticklers about language and they refuse to accept any new slang words as legitimate additions to a certain language. Esp., English.

The Scrabble buff was a "word puritan" and he refused to accept any coinage of a new word that was not from his authoritative source.
