The internet amplifies our voice, but that also means the ignorant, the silly, and the just plain wrong things we say are amplified too. Nowhere is this more hilariously evident than in the Facebook group 'People Incorrectly Correcting Other People,' where members document overconfident know-it-alls self-owning in public. Consider this list of the group’s most recent posts a cautionary tale about fact-checking yourself — and a reminder that sometimes, silence really is golden.

The house where I grew up would like a word. We had strawberries, and none of them came from trees
As someone observed, read and lead rhyme, but read and lead don't.
someone got confused between the 1900s and the 19th century (which was indeed 1800—1899)... not entirely sure why though :)
Eat more moose. Moose eats pine needles, you eat moose, no wheat spent - profit
actually, the feathers are heavier. cause you gotta live with the weight of what you did to those poor birds
TBF at least some of these so-called silent letters can sometimes be voiced by some speakers. I definitely sound the t in tsunami, for example. maybe it's just from having spoken German for such a while that I've adopted the TZ sound, I dunno. But surely everyone knows that knight is pronounced kanigget? ;-)
The vast majority of people who are blind are not born blind. They lose their sight due to genetic, illness or accident. They are used to turning to look at people when speaking to them, looking in the direction they are pointing etc. It's automatic. The majority of people who are blind have some small amount of sight. Light levels can make a big difference as to whether they can use this remaining sight.
It depends on the journalist. There are those who report that 20C is twice as hot as 10C.
I did not know this.. never read Manga and have yet to be financially able to travel out of the US. Also spent my life so far immersed in science, animals, and vet med instead of culture. I knew some languages read right to left on a page but never considered that book pages would also turn differently. Huh.
I’m allergic to nickel. Broke out like this. Likely an allergy.
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
Some people did call them doubled eggs because they thought calling them deviled eggs was evil.
Given what's going on these days it's less 🙃 and more 🔥. Oh, BBQ season, yay!

Heathrow, Luton, Gatwick, Southend, Stansted and Docklands. All London airports.
The switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. See Google for more info. But what that reply means i have no idea!
Which McDonald's origin are we talking about? When the McDonald brothers opened their stand, or after Ray Kroc bought the name and started franchising it?
I guess I'm either very bored or too easily amused. Time to go put the kettle on and deal with reality for a while.
My wife and I visited a nudist resort inTexas in the 90s that had a sign that said "No gentile jewelry allowed"! We had a good laugh and got out of there.
My one question about many of these posts. There are so many ways to confirm spelling and facts on the internet unlike us old folks who used to have to refer to encyclopedias. There is no excuse to be so dumb and uninformed spouting baloney to others. These people drive, vote and might be able to procreate.
We are doomed. These idiots are out in the world driving and voting. Lord help us all!
The utter ignorance, arrogance and self entitlement are horrendous
