nitpicking

2018年08月19日 | 英単語
Reader's Digest 6月号の記事 'All in A Day's Work' からの引用です。
To resolve work conflicts between management and staff, I brought both sides together and asked employees to jot down key words on a flip chart. One participant complained about management's tendency to interfere and wrote the word nitpicking.
A manager leaped to his feet to ask, "Shouldn't there be a hyphen between nit and picking?"
