I hope my pedantry (pedanticism?) isn't too inane...

Or, you surreptitiously hope it's much too inane, much as people do with puns. What should we call those who secretly love pedantry? "Pedantophiles?" Oh what a difference one syllable makes!

I think that would be someone who secretly loves pedants, which isn't quite the same thing as secretly loving pedantry.

Am I doing this right?

I don't know. I got downvoted, so apparently I'm doing it right!
Actually, I like your sense of humour.
