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.

I agree that it's a way of trying to deflect attention away from the fact that you have just made a good point and they don't know how to respond to it. It's also very childish.

This has never happened to me, as I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar (with myself, though not with others).

What has happened to me is that someone has brought up something I did in the past that made them angry, that they had supposedly forgiven me for, and refused to answer the question that I was asking. Then, when I pointed out that the one had nothing to do with the other, they threatened to block me.

Some people just don't fight fair. I've learned to avoid such people, for the most part, though I still have an occasional run-in with some ignorant person.
