And what about the word 'anal-retentive'? Is the dictionary wrong or right?

Maybe.
Sadly enough, I can't add anything to your post since I'm not a native English speaker.

Look at what I have found in the English dictionary.

I beg your pardon?! Are you saying you're занудный meaning anal?

Never heard of this usage of the word 'занудный'.

Что-то типа этого :lol:

занудный translates as draggy into English, so, imho, that's not the right word for meticulous.

Sometimes, it does. It depends on the situation.

Lampada, maybe, Vesh doesn't have ё on his keyboard :D
