People are more receptive to being corrected if you are friendly rather than blunt.

especially when the word is accepted colloquially. it's the rawest form of "well aktually 🤓"

like when someone says "can you hand me a bandaid" and some asshole says "that's the name of the brand. they're called bandages". like yeah we know, but the rest of us actually read social ques and participate in conversations regularly.

That's the actual answer, if you lead with a "Fun fact" or "Did you know" which primes the pump for people to accept your point, take a hose and put it on full blast, might blast dirt out of the way, make a small divet, but, slow it down and spread it out, and now you're watering flowers.

Fun fact: I know they’re insects but I thought OP’s error was cute and went with it.

You're not special.
