35 People Who Learned To Think Twice Before Correcting Someone, As Shared By The ‘People Incorrectly Correcting Other People’ Facebook Page

Good thing *someone* invented electricity. Am curious, though, how people got lightning before it was invented, or did they just do without it? Likewise, how did they amuse their kids? They couldn’t rub balloons on their heads, nor could they shuffle their feet on the carpet. Ah, geez; hot could I forget?! Netflix! How did they watch Netflix before electricity was invented?! Life musta been SUCH a drag before electricity was invented! ETA: Now my head is gonna explode thinking about this. What did people drink before water was invented? How did people see before lightbulbs were invented? How did they keep warm (and drive cars!) before coal was invented? Seriously, people: My education is obviously lacking. It’s time I visit ELI5 so I can get my smart on!

There seems to be an incredible number of people running around believing this “But [creatures] don’t lay eggs, you dopes!” Neither do people, yet we transfer eggs between female human beans every day of our lives. Where do they people think [creature] comes from? That it comes out the back end of [creature] whole and wailing? And how did it get in there? Was [creature] born with one or more very tiny [creatures] inside just waiting for the day they could pop out? Serious question: Has anyone ever seen a fool’s answer to the question “How does [creatures who doesnt ‘lay eggs’] reproduce?” I’m Wondering what they think (or whether they think).

Alright; it’s taken me twelve of these entries to realize that most of these pitiful answers come from the same account (“3YearLetterman”). Maybe it’s a joke account? If it is, he’s pretty funny. Still, if, like me, people aren’t noticing that it’s mostly one guy posting all this stupidity, I’ve gotta say, *we’re* thé stupid ones for missing all the comedy! I’m think maybe it’s an alt account of the one with the Indian man’s avatar that posts some of the most amazing insults on all of social media!

Okay, I don’t watch “Dr Who” (I’ve tried several times; it just doesn’t work for me), but if I’m understanding this correctly, the guy who created it (and continues to write it to this day) posted about what a wonderful job he’s done on the show? Really? It doesn’t seem plausible to me, but maybe I’m the dummy here?

I learned Castilian Spanish and live in Spanish Harlem, which is filled with Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, and lotsa more Spanish-speaking people, and am astounded every day that they keep correcting me. I explain how I learned Castilian Spanish and they stare at me as if I’m from outer space. If I know about and can understand British, Australian, New Zealand, Irish, Welsh, etc and so on, how is it the Spanish folks here seem not to know what I’m talking about? Surely they hear Castillian Spanish on TV, right? I used to think they were pulling my leg, but they can’t ALL be teasing me, can they? (“Let’s all pretend we don’t know what Bink’s saying!”) Can anyone explain how this is?

Would dearly love to hear how the NHS has educated the English so that they don’t equate health with medicine (or teeth)! You people laugh at us and our health system; now it’s our turn to laugh at you! 😝

Sumit, how would you even carry “portable” water around, you nutty bunny? 🤪

We do it with Asia and Africa, too (well, *I* don’t, but my fellow dingalings do), so it’s not just you. We’re equal-opportunity idiots. (Besides, when *i* first went to Europe, I went to six countries. It was a lot quicker to say i “went to Europe” than “I went to England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland,” kinda the way I assume Europeans say “i went to the US” rather than “I went to Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York”). But yes, absolutely, far too many Americans seem to think Europe is an amorphous blob.

Poor deer cant speel. (I count EIGHT errors of grammar, spelling, case, and punctuation in that last post. I’m thinking siavawa needs to go offline and study English before coming back to post corrections.)

I spose the quote marks *could* be correct; “Dad” might be what she called her stepfather, or an uncle, or perhaps it’s someone’s nickname, while his “yacht” coulda been a small aluminum rowboat that he called his “yacht” as a joke (because it’s so clearly not a yacht). Now as for that apostrophe and hyphen … I’m thinking she simply doesn’t know how to use punctuation, or English is her second (or third, or fourth, or eleventh language, in which case … WOW!).
