Let your actions speak for you rather than trying to let everyone know how intelligent you are. I was much happier in life when I just stopped to listen and then might offer an amendment (i.e. I heard it differently.....). This type of phrasing is less intimidating. There are also many times when it isn't a good idea to offer any sort of corrections. My wife is highly directionally challenged. She goes a long way around to go to places via the routes she knows. I can sometimes offer her advice, but typically now I wait for the phone call saying she is lost before I tell her how to get from Point A to B now.
Lurkette's first post was exactly what I would have said on this topic.
