Note to the world:

Simply telling you that you're wrong isn't, in and of itself, bitchy. In order to be bitchy, I'd have to go out of my way to insult you for being wrong. A correction isn't an insult.

Sheesh, if you don't want people calling you on your errors, you should make damn sure you don't make any mistakes.

No one's perfect.

[conuly]

Exactly. We only get better when we realize we're wrong. I hate making mistakes, and I'd really hate to keep making the same ones (and encouraging others to do likewise) because nobody'd correct me.

For the record, please continue to correct me when I make mistakes, as you've done in the past.

Actually, I like it when you do so, because you also tend to give explanations, and that's helpful.

Well, I'll agree that I'd been a little terse with the person who prompted this post, but I was a bit sick of saying "Nope, you're wrong" 50000 times. I wasn't bitchy until she called me bitchy, at which point... well... *shrugs*

[wodhaund.livejournal.com]

At that point, you almost might as well live up to their expectations, because people will find a way to twist you into them no matter what, imo. That sucks though.

[conuly]

That's my view. Plus, I've been good for ages and haven't fought with *anybody*.

For telling them that they're wrong to call you bitchy for telling them that they're wrong, do you think that they'll call you bitchy again?

[conuly]

Oh, probably. They've already called me bitchy a few more times.
