The entry for "sticker" has, in reference to a person, what should be under a different entry. The person entry should be under stickler, not sticker. People can't be stickers, but there are a lot of sticklers. smile

Hmmm. I understand "stickler" very well. My English is American Midwest. I'm not sure that Spanish has a one-word equivalent; and it depends on the context in which it is used. That, and the point of view that the speaker the speaker takes. If I am the "stickler", than I am certain that I am correct, even though I may not be. If I'm on the other end of the conversation, even though the speaker may be correct, I might say, "Él atiende demasiado a los detalles

In Spanish, I would say "cienporcentero", but it's perrogative. "Sabelotodo" doesn't fit.
