I'm not PC-ing you with nibbling suggestions
I don't think 'nibbling' is the correct word to use in this context. I believe the word you want is 'niggling'.

Yes, thank you. The word I wanted was "niggling," not "nibbling." 'Course, here in DC a government employee got fired for using the word "niggardly" because someone didn't know what that word really meant. So maybe in my parts "niggling" isn't safe either. Well, one thing's for sure. The English language isn't safe around me!
1 a : TRIFLE b : to spend too much effort on minor details 2 : to find fault constantly in a petty way : CARP
