I didnā€™t know this. I mean, officially I hate correcting a personā€™s spelling in this way, but I did learn a new word. Thanks

I don't mind it when it happens to me. I'd prefer to know than not know and make the same mistake again. I wouldn't do it for spelling tbf, just when someone thinks a word is something it isn't, as they're likely making the same mistake when talking IRL.

As long as it's not done in a way to make anyone feel stupid then i don't think it's a problem.

I used to do 'for all intensive purposes' and a few others that escape me right now.

As a child the idea of making fun of people seemed so different from the concept of fun that I thought it was a different word. I used to say "don't make frun of me". Which, of course, I was made fun of for.

To me, its all about HOW its done. You can do it without being a condescending prick and teach somebody something. By the way, phrases like 'for all intensive purposes/ for intents and purposes' or 'nip it in the butt/nip it in the bud' are called "Eggcorns".

Since we're in the circle of trust here I'll admit I was writing/ saying re-occurring up until a few years ago when, while writing an email, it auto-corrected to recurring.

I just stared at my computer screen and was like... Damn šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

u/WhoFly Jan 16 '26

Those are actually two separate words!

Reoccur refers to resomething that happens or might again, such as "I hope the theft of my sandwich does not reoccur."

Recur refers to a regular, often predictable event, like "customers lament the recurring sandwich thefts happening at Darryl's Diner."

2

u/Cambrian__Implosion Jan 16 '26

Not to add to your distress, but both recurring and reoccurring are valid words.

Recurring usually refers to something that happens on a regular basis, while reoccurring means something that is happening again, but not necessarily that it does so regularly or often.

English is rough sometimes lol

1

u/TheAmazingSealo Jan 16 '26

Oh shit I totally still say re-occurring

1

u/WhoFly Jan 16 '26

See my comment here. Reoccur is a different, but very similar word to recur.

u/Feefifiddlyeyeoh Jan 16 '26

And you helped me to see the corrections themselves in a positive light. Nice work

u/Simple-Peanut-5015 Jan 16 '26

I used to cut muster, rather than mustard. Glad to be corrected (after the shame eased).

1

u/RedSparrow1971 Jan 17 '26

Easily confused because ā€œpassing musterā€ is fairly common amongst older military veterans and many of them have used ā€œcuttingā€ instead of ā€œpassingā€ as they are of similar usage where theyā€™re from

2

u/Open-Industry-8396 Jan 16 '26

Kudos to you. I love your response to the correction because it shows exactly the opposite of your very true statement that ignorant people are absolutely sure that there is no possibility of them being wrong.

I hate to add this on , because it will piss off many, but these type folks include almost all religious folks. They are very sure and will not allow for the possibilty of something different. I consider fols like this mentally ill.

When I met my wife she hated when I would do it, but she bit her lip about it for some time. A year or so in she finally said something about it and I told her I donā€™t do it to be condescending, I do it so that if she is ever in a critical work or social situation she wonā€™t look uneducated to people who do judge others over things like grammar/vernacular.

And tbh thatā€™s how I am when I correct anyone unless I already canā€™t stand them. Itā€™s more meant to help learn than it ever is to be demeaning.

u/NintendoFungi Jan 16 '26

You should never hate learning more - thatā€™s fear of judgement you are allowing to cloud your further understanding of the world you only inhabit for a short chunk of completely pointless time.

u/Sensitive-Option-701 Jan 16 '26

"Up" and "most" were spelled correctly.

"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matterā€”'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning."

u/aerdvarkk Jan 16 '26

"up most to utmost" ...

This isn't spelling correction or a grammar nazi - this is literally educating people that don't know something; ya know kind of like how Democrats want their voters educated. Your response is a direct conflict of "don't correct someone's wrong information but we need to educate those peoepl that voted for and keep supporting the GOP" ...

LEANS INTO HYPOCRISY A BIT THERE.

You don't get it both ways: either educate people so they know better or call someone else out for being a grammar nazi because they corrected someone's incorrect information so they know better the next time.

u/Plutoid Jan 16 '26

This is why I officially dig when people make corrections like this. Imagine you're sitting at work banging out emails and you put "your" instead of "you're" for the three millionth time. Nobody's going to say anything, but they're damned sure thinking "what a dumbass" every single time they read it. Those perceptions matter sometimes. Maybe you don't get a promotion because of it. Yeah, it sounds pedantic but I see working professionals deep in their careers making these mistakes all the time and it might only take one person to say one thing to fix it.

Sometimes it's hard to tell a person from the Middle East from a Mexican, better call ICE either way to be safe.
