A Time-Honoured Tradition
On the internet, it is a time-honored tradition for everyone to point out when other people are using words incorrectly and to offer corrections. The vast majority of people have a reasonable amount of self-assurance regarding it, but that can severely backfire if you are not knowledgeable in the subject at hand. Take for example this gentleman right in front of you.
However, this is the result that you get when you attempt to erroneously correct someone else in the first place. It is easy for us to imagine that there was a great deal of backlash as a result of this misplaced confidence because it was a mistake on their part to be so confident.
