pedantically
Pedantically refers to an overly concerned and precise manner about details or the way someone behaves or speaks in an excessively scholarly or formal style. It implies a focus on trivialities or minor details, often to show off one's knowledge and usually to the annoyance or frustration of others. It comes from the word "pedant," which describes someone who is excessively concerned with formal rules or minute details.
