If you don’t want to be constantly corrected, don’t constantly say incorrect things

If you say something that’s objectively wrong, I’m going to inform you that it’s wrong. I don’t care that you don’t like it. If you don’t like me correcting you, don’t be wrong. “BUt iT’S So aNnoYiNg” what’s annoying is you saying things that are categorically false and continuing to believe them because no one bothered to correct you.

Note that I’m talking about objective truths, not matters of opinion.

Thank goodness there's one person on here who knows what objectivity is. I presume you have given up your full time job to take this task on? 🙄

@FreddieUK I am quite surprised and disappointed that up until this point you apparently could not distinguish opinion from objective truth. But let me reinforce your new knowledge with an example:

Opinion: Häagen-Dazs is the best brand of ice cream.

Objective fact: Pi is closer to 3 than 4.

@Zeuro Thanks. I was teaching that to my students throughout my teaching career. But it’s good to know that the next generation of people know what it means. Now you just need to learn what irony is.
