[puh-dan-tik]
adjective
Â
1. ostentatious in one’s learning.
Â
2. overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, especially in teaching.
Â

Â
I can become preoccupied with minutia. My clothes are organized to such extent that I have five categories for shirts. Shoes are similarly ordered by like and kind. I find this not only the most efficient system, it is also aestetically pleasing in the extreme.
Â
This happens perhaps even moreso with language.
Â
And sometimes in my haste to expound, to correct, and clarify I make trifling grammatical errors. This is ironic.
