    “Not to be nit picky” proceeds to nit pick and be wrong about the subject you’re nit picking…

    • Merrium Webster: a: marked by no appreciable drop below initial horizontal line of flight; b: so close to a target that a missile fired will travel in a straight line to the mark

    • Cambridge: aimed or fired directly at from a close position

    • Dictionary.com: aimed or fired straight at the mark especially from close range; direct.

    Imagine a journalist using a dictionary.
