I agree, it does seem picky to some but to others it can be particularly grating especially if they get pissed off with you pointing it out and then just ignoring you.
A few weeks back, I very politely advised Godschild that he repeatedly uses the word "want" where he actually means "won't" which makes the sentence read the complete opposite to its intended meaning. I genuinely wanted him to realise this error and correct it but would he accept it, would he fuck. I got a response that was more in line with something you would expect when you question his belief instead of accepting an indisputable factual error. He continues to wrongly substitute these words even now.
It suggests to me that the defence of delusion spreads so far into the corners of their mind that nothing, but nothing will ever penetrate it.
I know if someone were to point out an error to me that I can confirm (which often happens at work) I make a big effort to ensure it never happens again. Just the way the brain is wired up I suppose.
