We’ve all met that one person who confidently says the wrong thing. You know, the one who incorrectly corrects your grammar, explains your own joke back to you, or insists on a technicality no one asked for.
The internet has basically handed these people a microphone. Behind a screen, with a keyboard and unlimited reach, they comment freely.
But a Facebook page called ‘People Really Incorrectly Correcting Other People’ is fighting the good fight by exposing them… and giving us a lot of laughs along the way.
Check out these hilarious commenters who tried to “correct” someone but ended up revealing their own dumbness instead.

Well, by usual weird American logic, he's actually 'African American'. Just putting it out there....
There’s something called the Dunning-Kruger effect. It’s when some people believe they know more than they do — when they actually know very little. It happens especially because they don’t realize there’s more to learn.
A lot of people confidently comment on social media without having all the facts, generally because they see only a small piece of the picture and assume it’s the whole story.
They spot one detail that seems right and immediately feel like an expert, jumping in to correct others even when they’re missing the bigger context.
The phenomenon has also been attested in common sayings. For example, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” or Charles Darwin saying: “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”

I tended to read British authors when I was in school and would use British English in written assignments. One teacher would mark these spellings wrong even though the class was an English class.
Multa Nocte (she/her/86 47) 1 week ago
My mother, who was a secretary, used "British spelling" and she typed one of my papers for me for university. Then I had to sit in class and listen to one of the instructors talk about someone in class who had "blatantly plagiarised" in a paper that had been submitted because it used British spelling.

Wait til they find out English is just a bunch of other(sometimes ancient) languages smooshed together over about a millenia of varied conquests. Before that we spoke a language that is an old version of Celtic(which also varied depending on where you were) we had ,Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, Norman french and then middle English to our modern tongue. Not forgetting languages that were favoured by high society to keep the Hapsburgs happy whilst they were cousin f*****g all over Europe until they realised inbreeding causes a whole bunchy bunch of health issues not congruent to a European dynasty of Kings and Queens (Charles II of Spain was the worst dude could barely talk or eat but everyone knew the "Hapsburg jaw"). By the end of the dynasty the children produced were more like those born of siblings because the genes were so (I'm having a brain fart and can't remember the word so I'll go for....) concentrated. In any case, I hope you aren't annoyed by this, just trying to help.

lucy smith: thank you. Although: Celtic might not be the best word. I've watched a few documentaries lately where the scholars wince at the term 'Celtic', while also acknowledging it has meaning when applied culturally. Here in the British Isles, I gather the modern terms for the surviving Celtic languages refer to the 'Brittonic' and 'Goidelic' branches - identified as the two branches of the 'Insular Celtic languages'. (Brittonic: Breton, Cornish, and Welsh; Goidelic: Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic). There used to be other related languages spoken across Europe, but they're all extinct. Wikipedia also tells me that 'There is also a community of Brittonic language speakers in Y Wladfa (the Welsh settlement in Patagonia)'

There are many dialects in Britain that an English speaking person would have a difficult time understanding.
Forrest Hobbs 1 week ago
keyboardtek: er, I'm English, in England - and on the whole, I can deal with any of the dialects. But! Many decades ago I was once in a pub with a bunch of assorted Geordie students (everyone was absolutely totally sober, of course). The Geordies decided to have a laugh and revert to the dialect they used when they were kids. It turned out that they ended up not being able to understand each other - something to do with incredibly localized vocabulary. Basically, that's how they spoke around *that* part of Newcastle upon Tyne, but a few streets over and there were other words used for this and that. The discussion was fascinating - and of course, myself being totally sober at the time along with everyone else, I made detailed notes which I can still refer to. 😁🤣

I am always delighted by the insular self-aggrandisement to which some USA citizens are prone. If *their* beliefs are not like *ours,* they must be WRONG and EVIL and we should b**b them. Some US attitudes - such as MAGA - are infantile.

Forrest Hobbs 1 week ago
Thomas Francis: British chemist Humphrey Davy originally suggested 'aluminum' in 1808, then 'aluminum' in 1812. Although, yes, we should persecute the Seppos for getting the spelling of our language wrong. 😉🤣 (link follows)

The British find our use of Z to be uncouth and deplorable... We feel the same about the extra U in color. It's the circle of life
Forrest Hobbs 1 week ago (edited)
Jes.the.Mess: you should maybe have a look at the Oxford English Dictionary - it prefers the 'ize' version over 'ise'. Meanwhile: there's no extra 'u' in colour - that's in place to show it's from French (couleur). Noah Webster seems to have ignored the memo on that subject. There was never any regularity in spelling until the 19th century in any case. But: since it is the English language, any deviations from the way the English do it is definitively wrong. I get to say that because I am in fact English. 😉 (and I'm quite happy to trade insults with anyone from down under on the subject 😁)

Entitled grammer cop alert ☝️☝️🤦♀️self righteous p r i c k s they are !
Social media acts as both a stage and amplifier for incorrect information, shaping opinions faster than fact-checkers can intervene.
Online behavior (like grammar policing) is also often louder because people feel anonymous and free to say whatever they want.
In 2025, over 72% of internet users globally encountered misinformation on at least one social platform monthly.
In the same survey, around 45% of US adults said they found it difficult to determine whether the information on social media was true or false.
About one in three Gen Z users said they’ve shared misinformation online without realizing it, thinking it was true when they posted it.

Do not cite the old magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.
There’s also a psychological reason why people aren’t just wrong in an argument — they’re confidently wrong.
According to a study, it’s because some people believe they already have all the information they need to form an opinion, even when they actually don’t.
“Our brains are overconfident that they can arrive at a reasonable conclusion with very little information,” said Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University, who co-wrote the study.
Basically, some people are prone to jump to conclusions quickly.
Fletcher and other researchers call it the “illusion of information adequacy.”
“We found that, in general, people don’t stop to think whether there might be more information that would help them make a more informed decision. If you give people a few pieces of information that seems to line up, most will say ‘that sounds about right’ and go with that,” he said.
#12
A UK survey of 2000 adults found that 81% of people are overconfident in their answers to a series of general knowledge questions. They answered incorrectly but believed their response to be right.
The findings revealed that baby boomers (people in the age group of 60–78) were even more likely to be confidently wrong (84% overconfident) than Gen Z or Millennials.

"Why don't you two get a ruler, go outside, drop your pants, and settle this once and for all?" ~ Murphy Brown
While confidence is a good thing, over-confidence is quite a dangerous zone.
Research shows that when we overestimate our abilities or knowledge, we might end up making bad decisions.
This happens because we don’t always see the risks or ignore other ways of looking at things.
People can be overconfident for a bunch of reasons: not getting feedback on past decisions, only paying attention to info that agrees with them, or getting caught up in strong emotions that make them feel extra sure.
#17
Experts say people should make sure they have the full story about a situation before they take a stance or make a decision.
“Your first move when you disagree with someone should be to think, ‘Is there something that I’m missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?’ That’s the way to fight this illusion of information adequacy,” Angus Fletcher says.
So, the next time you think about correcting someone without fact checking all your opinions, try being curious and humble instead.

"Original Sin" might be the most effed up idea in Christianity. You are born guilty because of something your ancestors did. The Christian God makes people pay for the sins of their parents. That cruel beyond belief. Imagine jailing children for their parents and that is what God does.

What?? That’s not how the idea of tampons came about. Tampons are actually medical dressings used to stem bleeding, the procedure is still sometimes called tamponade. Nurses in the First World War (I believe) looked at them and thought “I know some bleeding that would really help with”. The exact opposite of capitalism at that point. Of course capitalism got in on the act pretty quickly.

There isn't anything to say these are ALL Americans. And there is plenty of stupid people all around the world. I hate to break it to you, but at least IQ-wise, the US is smarter than most European nations. You can look it up yourself if you doubt me. The US just has lots of internet access, and lots of confidence (also scientifically shown to be true), so you can find lots of examples of "dumb Americans". Imagine if North Korea had internet access, the amount of wrong/incorrect information they would spew as fact would be massive (not their fault obviously, they've been brainwashed/tortured into it). Does that mean all Koreans are ignorant?! Stop the generalized USA bashing please. Stick to mocking the true idiots like Trump and MAGA, they've literally shown h*e ignorant they are on a daily basis.
