T has a bad case of "well, actually", but we're working on it and he's only 6. Here's hoping he'll be able to simulate adult behavior by the time he's an adult.

Shared across several social media sites. Because it's a hard habit to break.

I sort of get it, but if the price of not being treated like one has cooties is to always agree with people who are wrong, I honestly think I prefer the cooties.

I've participated in discussions about how, in some social circles (e.g., SF fandom), correcting someone is considered polite and a sign of engagement and interest. Personally I don't react to it that way naturally, but I've learned to apply a filter to the point where I usually have an affectionate reaction to it rather than an annoyed/offended one.
