"Pedantic" does not suggest that you are incorrect. Rather it indicates that you are viewing the subject very narrowly or that you are making statements that are not appreciated (regardless of accuracy). Pedantic statements are inappropriate even if they are technically correct. Example: A friend uses the term "very unique" in casual conversation. I correct her in mid-sentence, saying that "unique" can't take the modifier "very". She accuses me of being pedantic since her meaning was clear and the format was very casual. If she was writing a formal paper and I was her editor then the same correction would not be viewed as pedantic.
"Dissertation" is the same in English and French. The pronunciation of the feminine singular noun -- which also translates as "composition, essay, pedantic speech, thesis" -- will be "dee-ser-ta-syo" in French.
Generally speaking, the terms "didactic" and "pedantic" both refer to actions or outlooks that are negative or, at least, not enjoyable. The difference can be simply expressed in the following way: a "didactic" approach is overly preachy or unnecessarily eager to instruct, while a "pedantic" approach focuses on unimportant details as though they were quite important. Hence, it is possible for one to be both "didactic" and "pedantic" at the same time.
