I think 'pedant' is maybe a better word, preferably with as much dirisive
tone as you can muster.
He should come up with a real trademarkable word if he wants that level of
specificity. He is quite willing to unproductively harangue people because
they don't use his specific terminology, which is silly.

I don't even think he's an asshole, since he's doing it for what he thinks
are entirely good reasons, he just can't tell that he often does more harm
than good.

Look, I refuse to install any filter which looks like it's more highly
evolved than homo sapiens, it will just get embarassing when it starts
critiquing the literrary style of my friends mail to me.
