We have a guy like this in our football organization. Every presentation or discussion in the meetings he always questions the presenter as to what they say based on one very minor detail. He always has to comment on very point in a presentation made because they did not use the "word for word" language in the rulebook during that presentation.
We also have many on this board that wrangle over single words and try to make a big deal out of it.

we have a guy in our association that takes the rule that all lines must be drawn of non caustic or lime.... and cuts it off to read all lines must be drawn. He gets so insistant that he will even drawn the on deck circles and coaches boxes himself and will not start a game until they are done.
