It's not pedantry. The subject of character encodings is one that simply
can't be meaningfully discussed without using extremely precise language;
"you know what I mean" simply won't cut it here because in fact different
people will come up with *radically* different ideas of what you mean.
"High ASCII" or "wide ASCII" mean different things to different people,
because there is simply no common definition for them (which in turn comes
from the fact that they're inherently contradictory).
