Pedantic Speech
Pedantic speech is generally considered insulting. But some people take pride n this use of language. Pedantry speech can also be a indication of some developmental disorders, such as Autism. Pedantic means characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning rules. Pedantic speech is also frequent amongst people with Asperger Syndrome. When it is seen in people with this condition one of the traits is the avoidance of slang words or other abbreviated speech.
