Those who are insecure often project their supposed superiority in a variety of ways. One of the most popular ones is pointing out others' mistakes. However, sometimes the fact-checkers rely too much on their emotions and too little on the truth.

There's a Facebook group called 'People Incorrectly Correcting Other People' and it's full of humorous reminders that you need to be absolutely certain of what you're about to say when you're getting ready to bask someone, or else you're going to make a fool of yourself.

From folks who can't tell the time to grammar gurus stumbling on their own words, here are some of the most popular recent posts that were shared by the online community.

    Abracadabra is the term used in many european countries. It's origin is "adhadda kedhabhra", from aramean langage, meaning "destroy this thing". And if this reminds you of another magic formula in some books and movies, that's not a coincidence.

    I like the fact how I started thinking about what was the real intention - mercilessly or unmercilessly, rather than questioning the reason of the beating. It's like politics, you get distracted do easily from the main subject. 🥴

    Which is correct sulphur or sulfur? Sulfur has been the preferred spelling of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) since 1990, and is the default form employed by many scientific journals 1. The alternative spelling sulphur may still be found in common use in the UK and Commonwealth, especially by laypeople.Mar 15, 2019

    four is germanic. Colour is latin. The "u" was artificially introduced to make consistency with french spelling (french descends from latin). Original old english for four was "feower".

    I use these differently even though we supposedly use UK english here. I use mold for the fungus and mould for shaping-something (verb or noun). I do the same with disc/disk and program/programme. I use disc = a circle, disk = a computer disk; and program = verb, to make a computer do something; programme = series of in-person/person-attended events , e.g. wedding programme.
