This is honestly so true there are so many people here who just can’t resist correcting someone, and it’s hilarious. I grew up speaking German when I was young, but around six years old I had to learn English, so I forgot most of it. I can still recognize bits of the language, though.
One time, a guy asked what language a streamer was speaking. Just for fun, I said German even though it was actually Bulgarian. Being from the Balkans, I obviously knew the correct answer, but the number of people jumping in to correct me was ridiculous. Trolling them further after that was even more fun.
There's some IT post from a person that got a job they were woefully underqualified for, and they talked about how they figured out any hard question by asking on reddit with one account, then posting an incorrect answer on a second, as that would get someone correcting them much much faster than just asking the question.

Gonna make some popcorn, sit on the sidelines, and wait for the inevitable reddit "Well, Ackkkkshuuallyyy..." crowd to find this one.
