> It takes me 10 seconds to correct someone, and hopefully the corrected person makes less mistakes in the future.
Or the corrected person does it right 99 times out of 100 and was in a hurry (honestly not sure why that went wrong).
I agree with the sentiment of wanting to correct people, but it’s not always going to be correct.
Also, if you are going to do it, it works better if you at least pretend to be natural about it. I certainly would respond better.
To be fair, I’m pretty drunk right now so I don’t particularly care, but I’d probably be extremely annoyed if I were sober (even though you are technically right, I have a big dislike of people jumping on mistakes).
Maybe it’s worth seeing if there is a history of repeat mistakes? Then you could confidently correct someone.
If you only care enough to just leave a short impersonal comment on each instance, just leave off.
