40 Internet Know-It-Alls Who Embarrassed Themselves By Correcting Others Incorrectly
If you've ever been online for more than 10 minutes, you probably know that the internet is crawling with know-it-alls. People try to one-up each other in all kinds of fields: pop culture, politics, and even simple everyday physics. If anything, the internet is the birthplace of the "Um, actually," catchphrase.
But netizens also love humbling those who trust their intellectual capacities too much. The second incarnation of the ill-fated Facebook group of the same name, "People Incorrectly Correcting Other People 2.0", is the place where folks post people embarrassing themselves by acting like they know better. General rule: if you're correcting someone, better check with Google first to see if you're not mistaken.

British do have a reason for using more letters, they earn more points in Scrabble and other word games.

Blackberry, plum, Persian plum (prune), redcurrant, and many more fruits are named after a color. BTW, oranges came before the color orange.

In chemistry lab in college, weighing on an analytical scale, we were taught to simply drop the least significant digit (treated simply as an error factor), so in that case it would be correct to round 15.826 to 15.82. But that's a special case. My general rule for rounding is if the least significant digit is zero through four, then round down. Five through nine, round up. My condolences to anyone who doesn't know what "least significant digit" means.

No. Y'all is correct, as it's short for "you all." If you're referring to a larger group, you would use "all y'all."

Oh, the 9 I got from your mom. She also gave me gonorrhea, but that doesn't help with the math.

I'm not getting into this % squabble. The only percentages we should concentrate on is how Trump is going to get pharmaceutical companies to lower their drüg rates between 400% - 1000%, and this is great news bc it means they have to pay us for taking their medications.

For the extra $540,000 I think I could tolerate the inconvenience of the payment in pennies. Am I getting them all at once? 60 million pennies might cause a storage issue

10 minutes to make one cut means 20 minutes to make two cuts. The student was correct.

Ooops. Although when I found out the American name ‘Co - lynne’ was just regular old Colin I laughed for about a week (in the UK the Co is pronounced as if you’re about to say ‘cough’, with the emphasis on the first syllable. It’s sort of a ‘normal’ (boring?) middle aged man name)

OmegaFive. Even I know that Zelda, as in Princess Zelda, is a girl. You're thinking of Link, the boy she's friends with.

In this case, "affect" is the verb and "effect" is the noun. However, there are situations in which "effect" is the verb and "affect" is the noun. English is not a language; it's a dozen languages in a trench coat.

ADD and ADHD are neurodivergent disorders, and they do overlap with Autism in some cases. Just keep in mind that Google doesn't always have the correct answers.

Depends on which kilt you are thinking of. What we know as a kilt today was created by Thomas Rawlinson, an English ironmaster in the 1720s. He adapted the large, unwieldy "great kilt" (féileadh mòr - a large piece of tartan fabric used by Scottish Highlanders in the 16th century, serving as clothing and bedding) into the more practical, pre-pleated "small kilt" (féileadh beag) which I suspect is what most people think of.
