“Correcting” someone in a casual setting when they clearly communicated their ideas in a way that was understood by the majority of the audience without issue is pedantry, or more specifically linguistic prescriptivism. If their meaning was unclear you’d ask what they meant to say, when you tell someone what they meant to say you obviously understood them and are just being pedantic.
Okay? If you want to “correct” people who didn’t ask you go ahead, but all you’re really doing is pointlessly derailing conversations. And if you cry about it when people call you out for being a dick that’s more than a little pathetic.

This is the internet, and I welcome such pedantry.
