“Overthink” (amelegilt slang) sounds like it applies to this, in speaking. In BritE, this one would not suit for literature, and isn’t widely accepted.

How did you feel about “worry over” in transitive verbs?

Akin to “worry over” would be several others, such as “fret over” Except these lack the implication of perfectionism (feigned or real) that is characteristic of pedantry.

Another implication of pedantry is that it affects others, as in the caricature of pedantry in the bureaucracy. Why do people behave as pedantic, they watch the one doing them, and hindering those they support and interacting with and helping others?

A pedant is like a tree falling in the woods. If there’s no one around, the phone will just not be making sounds – maybe people won’t even know there is something somewhere.

So, “pedantic” is different from “punctilious”, “meticulous” and “fastidious”, which all share the notion of attention to detail but lack the pejorative implication.

Given the lack of verbs relating to these, I’d recommend “to perfect”, though it lacks the implication (by itself) that such attention is excessive; it requires context (such as that which you provided in the clause “… she didn’t get any work done!!” What do you have

to do to accomplish this.

You can either say the town was at the foot of the mountains, or in the foothills of the mountains. “foot” would be an incorrect usage, since the first is an idiom, the second is a term for a geological feature.

I believe in a nonce word such as “phallicity” or “phallicitude” in this situation.

Sadly the nearest plausible alternative actually in use, ” phallicism “, already serves to refer to the worship of the phallus (as a symbol of its generative purpose in nature).
