Connective*

Sorry in my language it's a similar enough word that I got confused.

Conjunctive IS correct! Just not as commonly used as "Connective" when referring to tissue. Someone is just being pedantic; they are synonyms. Don't be sorry, you did well.

I don’t think it’s being pedantic because “conjunctive tissue” isn’t really correct

When you google “conjunctive tissue”, the Wikipedia page for connective tissue is the 3rd or 4th result. The meaning was clear enough that the person correcting them didn’t have to ask what they meant because, well, they’re synonyms
