Or PEDANTISM if there is a letter missing

[Mamyalynne]

24a Hair-splitting (8)

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. I can't quite work out exactly how it matches the clue- clearly I'm pedantic. I just though pedantism was a better match. I suppose a pedantic comment could be a hair-splitting comment

[Mamyalynne]

Perhaps I'm wrong then.

[fiction-factory]

Could it be pedantry then? It's the quality of clue I'm querying if the pattern is right - I'm not saying you are wrong

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe Saints will say what fits.
