Never understood why people get upset for learning. My sister is 33 and has her own business. Every time she writes emails or company ads, she types at a 3rd grade level.
She uses the wrong "there", says "should of", etc.
When I try to teach her, she gets angry. Why? Do you want to stay stupid?
I don't believe it's so much about the correction itself as it is about ignoring what the person said and only piping up to correct. Imagine we are having a conversation and you spend 3 minutes telling me about how you struggled to get the lug nuts off your tire this morning while changing it and when you finished, all I had to offer you is "they're on the rim, not the tire" and nothing more. It can come off as a bit rude.
That's not how that word works.
Edit: I didn't say I I've never seen it used that way, i just find that particular use of it to be wrong.
Leave that grammar nazi shit on reddit.
