split hairs

مته به خشخاش گذاشتن

(To argue over very small and insignificant details.)

Why are you splitting hairs over such an insignificant typing error?

چرا برای یک چنین اشتباه تایپی بی‌اهمیتی مته به خشخاش می‌گذاری؟

مثال دیگر:

I don’t want to split hairs, but I wonder if the wording of this statement is grammatically correct.

نمی‌خواهم مته به خشخاش بگذارم، ولی نمی‌دانم متن این اظهاریه از نظر دستوری صحیح است یا خیر.
