50 People That Had More Courage Than Brains To Go Incorrectly Correcting Someone, As Shared On This Group (New Pics)
Most of us have that one friend who keeps calling out our grammar mistakes. (Of course, I won't be as careful with my language hanging out at a bar as I would writing a uni paper, Rob.)
But as annoying as it can be, they can still play the "I can't help it, this is really important to me" card. Some know-it-alls, however, are so insecure that they feel the need to project their "intelligence" even when they don't have all the facts. There's a whole Facebook group dedicated to this group, called 'People Incorrectly Correcting Other People.'
With over 1.7 million members, this place has plenty of examples, ranging from silly and lighthearted to downright outrageous. Here are some of the most memorable ones.

To be fair, some people's understanding of Chemistry is watered down; they're only familiar with H20...
When people disagree on an issue, there are several ways they might deal with the situation. They might avoid it altogether, either by putting off a discussion or just agreeing with the other person in order to end the conversation. On the other hand, people can be active in resolving disagreements.
Art Markman, Ph.D., an Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin, highlights that in the latter case, we have the choice between being competitive or cooperative: competitive resolution means that people are trying to convince the other person to change their belief, while cooperative resolution means that people are seeking some kind of middle ground.

And has urged all catholic churches, their priests and members to be more inclusive of ALLwho wish to attend services, along with their families. He invited a manto the Vatican about 2 years ago to discuss what the church could do to make members of the LGBTQ+ communities feel more welcome and involved. This man originally wrote to Pope Francis after he and his husband were asked to leave the church he grew up in. His spouse converted to Catholicism before marriage and they wanted to raise their 2 children in the church. Pope Francis has done more for the church in 10 years than anyone else has done in the past 100. While I'm a recovering Catholic myself, I appreciate what he is doing to make changes and bring the younger generations back

"Many factors lead people to take a cooperative or a competitive stance when dealing with a disagreement," Markman said. "For example, the personality characteristic of openness reflects how willing people are to consider new ideas. People high in openness are more likely to be cooperative than those who are low in openness."
"The characteristic of agreeableness reflects how much people want to get along with others. Agreeable people are also more likely to seek a compromise than disagreeable people."

I met one of these people, an otherwise very smart legal secretary in her 40s that belonged to some religious sect. The customers at the diner I worked at in my 20s often challenged me with vocabulary and random trivia for fun, as I have a strange ability to hold onto useless information. One day the question was the how long ago the Cretaceous period was. As I answered this Peggy was waiting for her bosses coffee. She says "that is not accurate. The world is only 2020 years old and was created with dinosaur bones within for us to discover." I just blinked at her, said carbon dating has proved otherwise but we are all welcome to our beliefs. Met another one several years ago. Science doesn't disprove religion but man does religion hate science.

I don’t think the recording of time is discussed enough. I bet it’s not very obvious to many folks that our years only reflect the past 2023 years and then add to that however many years we go back in B.C. years (prior to year 1 A.D.). This isn’t discussed enough to put two and two together logically so that people don’t make this stupid comment above. 😝 Education is Key. If you’re not taught this in a way that you’ll understand, you’re not going to remember it.
"People's certainty about their beliefs can be broken down into two components: clarity and correctness," Markman explained.
"Clarity refers to whether people are sure about what they believe. Each of us has some beliefs that we hold deeply and others to which we are not as firmly attached. Correctness focuses on whether we think our belief is “correct” in some broader cultural or moral context.

Some of these sentences suggested competition (“I plan on winning this debate”); some suggested cooperation (“I hope that you will also want to find some common ground on this issue”); and others reflected a desire to learn about the conversation partner’s beliefs (“I’m curious to learn about your position in this debate”).

By itself, that really should be all the justification we need to ensure that chickens have access to fresh greens. As a guiding principle I like to study the natural instincts and native environment of the animals when considering how they should be fed and raised."

"Being certain of your attitude can affect whether you try to convince other people that you are right," Markman said. "In particular, the more strongly you believe that your attitude is the right one, the more you will focus on convincing others."
But that also means that if you find yourself in conflict with others on a regular basis, you might want to evaluate whether you generally assume that your attitudes are the correct ones. If so, you might consider discovering other people’s perspectives in order to see whether there is validity to opposing points of view. Something that folks we see in these pictures would benefit from.

Right? They're basically interchangeable, it depends on its usage and context. "Shall we converse on the topic?", "Would you like to have a conversation on the topic?"

Conversate is a nonstandard verb that means “to have a conversation.” The standard verb (and the one you should use if you want to be correct) is converse. Merriam Webster agrees: "Yes, conversate is definitely a word, in use in English for over 200 years. Many people find its informality grating, and most usage guides will caution against using it in any formal writing."

I don't think I've ever identified with a Disney character based on their skin color being similar to mine. The wicked witch who tried to murder Snow White was white. Snow White herself was a gullible twit. Cinderella's dysfunctional family. Gaston in beauty and the beast was an insufferable pr..k and so on. I identify with the attributes of the character. I grew up reading books and most of the time I never even knew what skin color the main characters had. Dragon Riders of Pern, Lord of the Rings, Wrinkle in Time, Phantom Tollbooth, the OZ book series. I never knew or cared what their skin looked like. I identified with them (or not) based on their character.

I've been reading the Pern books since I was a child in the 70's. I've noticed, only thru constant reading, there are very subtle indicators of ancestry. The original settlers of Pern read as UK, including black folk, Asian and Indian, as well as Gypsies and Irish travelers. In The Skies of Pern, Tia, the heroine reads as having dusky skin, reddish hair and green eyes,IIRC, which perfectly matches a POC (how she refers to herself), co-worker of mine who happens to be mix. One of the things I dislike about racism is that we cannot just take joy in our differences and talk about them and share our ethnic life experiences without some fool being hateful. It's one of the things I love about Pern. You can see the differences in skin, but that never matters, it' just another wonderful aspect of life

They made up the current year dating twice starting from when Jesus was born, which became year 1. There is no year 0. If you're using AD/BC nomenclature, 21st Century started in 2001.

Nah, they're right - just like birds, Batman and the Penguin don't really exist.
Daft Mosquito 2 years ago
What, penguins and batmans do not exist? I see flocks of them every day, shїtting on statues and monuments. There're even warning plaques everywhere: do not feed the batmans. Or penguins? Now I'm confused.

If you were a former atheist, that means you used to be a former atheist, but are no longer. Which means you're either dead or an atheist again.

The yellow license plate on the car ahead is an additional clue (looks like it was issued prior to Brexit as it seems to still have the blue square on its left side).

They're on the left side of the road, so the steering wheel would be on the right. This is pretty obviously taken from the passenger's side of the car.

Brett - James is 1/2 correct. If the item is gold PLATED than it’s not worth its weight in gold. Gold plated is when a durable base metal, like sterling silver, is COATED in gold. DEFINITION OF PLATED: plated [ pley-tid ] - adjective coated with a thin film of gold, silver, etc., as for ornamental purposes https://learningjewelry.com/guides/gold-filled-vs-gold-plated/

Now see, this is the kind of thing that I'd get into a heated discussion with my man about - is an ounce of hollow gold worth less than an ounce of solid gold - and I'm sorry to say but I'd be on the dunce side of the conversation 🤯🙄

Can't believe anyone still believes this. Would have been easier to go to the moon vs faking it to the point that Russia or any other country wouldn't have called BS on the usa. Not to mention everyone involved would have had to keep the secret for this long. Edit spelling

Tikka masala actually has its origins in Glasgow Scotland by a Pakistani chef who owned a restaurant here called shish mahal. Apparently the traditional dish of tikka was too dry so he came up with a sauce for it

A ball in a casino in France once landed on red 17 times in a row. (Chances of that happening: 1 in 131072.) Many people lost money betting on black because it just had to come up. The chances of the next ball landing on red after landing on red 17 times in a row: 1 in 2.
Reviewer UK01 2 years ago
Now if the wheel covers up on the *same* black several times in a row then you have a non-zero chance the wheel is unbalanced and is marginally more likely than fair odds to come up black. Not a good chance, just not zero.

This reminds me of the Steve Aylett story with the bent casino where the roulette wheel houses a magnet so powerful that a gambler with a steel pin in his leg gets stuck to it

If you insist on throwing your money away by playing roulette, there's nothing defective about this advice - or its opposite.
Mat Hall 2 years ago
And depending on how many times it's landed on black, red may well be a *terrible* idea. If it went black 20 times in a row I'd be prepared to bet on another black - on a fair wheel the odds of that kind of run are about 0.000006% so it seems more likely it's *not* a fair wheel.

Some hold the not-unreasonable view that Europe and Asia form a single continent, since they are part of the same giant land mass. Chains of mountains (in this case, the Urals) do not usually mark the boundaries of a continent. But, hey Lenox, much more importantly - do you realize that "e" is pronounced three different ways in your last name?

Tell me why I googled this. Apparently humans are one of the few animals with chins, That sure is a chin stroker.
Majungasaurus 2 years ago
FYI - the underside of an animal’s jaw is not a “chin” per se. Humans are the only ones with a whole chunk of meat and cartilage under their mouths, where as most other animals don’t :)
Daft Mosquito 2 years ago
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition, has this to say: def.2. The lower extremity of the face below the mouth; the point of the under jaw in man, or a corresponding part in other animals. def.3. In zoology, the mentum. Note the"other animals" part.

I mean, they corrected the "too" but not the "u"? I don't understand. Usually when I see morons type "u" I just assume they fail at all grammar and don't even bother correcting them on anything.
Majungasaurus 2 years ago
I type “u” when I’m typing quickly or being lazy 😅 it has nothing to do with my language comprehension. Didn’t realize people would assume I was a moron for that, but good to know, I shall avoid those people!

The post is right and the complaint is wrong. The only exception to the apostrophe s for possessives is "its" since "it's" is a contraction of "it is"

This one is one of my pet peeves (peeve’s? Haha). If it’s plural, just add an S at the end. No apostrophe, just an S. That’s it, that’s the whole rule. Cat vs cats, just add an S. We learned this in kindergarten. (It gets complicated when the singular word ends already in an S, and I think that’s where people get confused. I honestly can’t talk because I still don’t know if it’s “keeping up with the Joneses” or “Jones’ ” or “Jones’s” lmao)
