I am only annoyed by folks who correct my incorrect usage of a word, when they knew full well what was meant by the sentence in the first place. For example...
me: "Nice cement work on this sidewalk here eh ?"
other: "You mean 'concrete' work don't you ?"
me: "Yes I mean concrete, but since you already knew that...
why the hell are you correcting me ?"
See what I mean.... Much simpler to reply...
other: "Yes, very nice."
end of conversation....
For me, as long as clear meaning is portrayed in a conversation, than I am happy.
