We call that "Precision in language" in my team.

Some of our neighboring teams call it "A bunch of pedantic bullshit".

We agree to disagree.

I would say the way one communicates with others makes it “pedantic bullshit”.

If someone corrects me on each small thing and feels smug about it - I call pedantic bullshit.

If someone takes time to ask what I mean and explains why they would use other term so we align that’s precision language.
