hyperprecise
Too minutely detailed
Hyperprecise means excessively or extremely precise, often to a degree that seems unnecessary or pedantic.
The prefix hyper- intensifies precision beyond what the situation requires: The hyperprecise measurements added hours to the project without improving results.
Someone hyperprecise about language might correct minor usage points that most speakers wouldn't notice or care about.
