     @veronica it's really common for somewhat nerdy people to be like that. it gets on their nerves when someone is wrong on the Internet.

     For the record, I understand the urge to "well actually" jokes if you're the pedantic type, like I am too. I have probably done it myself from time to time, and have had it done to me several times.

     Just ... don't.

     It's very annoying for the person who wrote the post, and it is very annoying for people who read it. It does not make you look smart. It makes you look like an ass.
