I Think Arrogance Is Annoying

When you're having a "debate" or discussion w/ someone and then instead of replying with a valid point or argument, they try to correct you spelling. " It's you're not your." Yeah I hate that stuff.

IDK if that even comes from a place of arrogance... well perhaps due to not wanting to admit your wrong I guess. It's a logical fallacy and incredibly unoriginal. To claim a misspelled word automatically makes a whole entire argument invalid.

It's an attempt at deflecting away from the logic behind your argument as well as an attempt to undermine your credibility in general.

When they do that I give them one or two chances to mend their tactic and then kick them in the knees :)

Remembering the rules for your-you're-yours-your's, it's-its, one's-ones-ones', it's-its, who's-whose, etc. can be as difficult to keep track of as the rules of trigonometry.
