OH man,
Pedant, now that is another great Vanagon.com <http://vanagon.com/> vocabulary word to add to my collection. But I think it will be even harder to slip into conversation than escutcheon.
Perhaps one of the synonyms would work better, I could refer to the pedant Alistair as a formalist, pedagogue, or egghead.
Considering my last unfortunate hair cut the latter may better fit me.
But, I will remember one bar is about 14.7 PSI tho Alexa is less precise calling it “about 15 PSI:
