pedantic, hair-splitting, nitpicking, petty, demanding, difficult, Explanation: It is "pignoli" and there are many interpretations ... "to be exact, to be demanding even in demanding and putting some order in a recollection..." I would have made it a play on words. The Italian text is at its damnedest. Good luck Angela |
