linguistic pedantry

Def 1:

Whereas taxonomy is precise linguistic categorization essential for clarity and practical accuracy, analogous to carefully labeling medicine bottles, linguistic pedantry functions within contentinternet to highlight the narrow-mindedness involved in focusing cognitive energy on trivial language details that offer no practical benefit, humorously exemplified by videos such as PronunciationManual's intentional mispronunciation of "Nietzsche."

Def 2:
One methodology of Sophistry.

bro 1: brah i went in there and a total rundown of linguistic pedantry was rained down on me .
