a pedant:
one who overrates or parades book-learning or technical knowledge or insists on strict adherance to formal rules,
also
one who is possessed by theory.
Can we have examples of who "one" of these might be?!
a celebritry or politician perhaps? or even a forum member ?!!

Arnlod Rimmer is a good example of a pedant. And if you don't know who that is, go watch some Red Dwarf.
