typist), or things done or performed with accuracy or caution (
careful
research).
Meticulous
describes people that are not just careful, but extremely attentive to the minute details of a project or task. In other words, someone who is

sweats the small stuff! Reflecting its Latin roots,
meticulous

his planning; he left nothing to chance on the big day.
