I've been correcting people too much lately.

Don't let me do that. Just kindly smite me next time. Thanks.

You're responsible for yourself. We can't do it for you.

(Friendly ironic correction.)

Yeah, I know you can't. I let my red pencil powers go to my head sometimes, is all. So I occasionally remind people to smite me if I'm being hypercorrective.

Are you smitten yet? ;) (Bats eyelashes.)

With Daniel.

Aww . . . I was just being playful.

That's good.

"Smitten" is just the past participle of "smite". It doesn't imply anything other than "struck". I was making a play on words. The response I expected was a similar play, "Oh, yes, I love being corrected!" or the like.

I know. I make that pun all the time, actually.

[rpeate.livejournal.com]

Okay. I just got the impression you may have thought (mistakenly) I was flirting.

If I say something that's utterly wrong and you notice, you are more than welcome to correct me. My stubbornness may get in the way, but I'll try. ;-)
