pretentuoso

individual who prides them self off of being able to do a seemingly unimportant task ridiculously well. this otherwise meaningless skill is showcased by the individual on almost a daily basis and can range from being able to spell a word correctly, pronounce a word correctly, or have some knowledge of the root of a word. obviously this person conducts them self in a somewhat grandiose manner and secretly looks down upon the people they are "innocently" correcting to elate their own ego.

pretentiosity

The state or act of being pretentious - affecting an air of superiority or culture where none truly exists.

"The latest discovery of Jane Austen's unprinted masterpiece, 'Pointlessness and Pretentiosity', brings together the dramatic cycle with a fitting juxtaposition of anagnorisis and perepetaea, providing the quintessential climax and denouement if you will, to a genre that is already fucking full of shit to be honest."

Siskel and Ebert, "Two-Birdies-Up Film Reviews"
