Slight vent post (to be clear ahead of time, not a post about people here - in practice, it seems to be a thing that comes most out of western “free thinker” arrogant types): Some people have a tendency to obsess over phrasing semantics. This in itself does not bother me because I believe some people’s minds process differently than others and for some, precise phrasing means more to them. And in fact, when a person is mature about this, it can be an important correction and a tempered, reasonable discussion that can lead to more precise and thereby helpful use of language. Then on the other side of the coin, you have the person who thinks like this, is generally immature, with western arrogance, and makes it a key part of their identity to thoughtlessly correct everything they see that they think is out of place. These people can be supremely annoying because they don’t even understand the world very well to begin with and then on top of that, not only do they correct obsessively (sometimes inaccurately) over trivial things, they can’t handle it when it’s done to them. It would be one thing if they tended to correct and could take correction, but this type of person is the definition of “can dish it out but can’t take it” and it makes for an extremely annoying person to be around.

It’s sorta like if sealioning was a whole personality.
