When someone proves that you're wrong, how do you react? Do you get angry, accept it gracefully....?

Question

Please don't tell me you've never been wrong.

Answer 1

I´m living in Germany right now and for extra money I teach English. Now I haven´t praticed English for many years and when a student second guesses me and they´re right I feel retarded. I mean this is supposed to me my language right. Well they pratice all the way through school and it´s still fresh in there heads. I guess I take it gracefully put am frustrated at the same time.
See my grammer most likely is wrong in this short paragraph. Oh well.

Answer 2

I usually apologize. What little ego I have thinks the world will end if I disappoint by messing up. (Maybe my ego is bigger than I suspected... Hmmmmmh).

However (this is EVIL)... if it is someone who annoys the crap outta me (and a few actually do), I may argue with them to twist their words so I appear correct. Even if I blatantly come out and proclaim their 'right-ness' I still make 'em look wrong. I have only ever done this to two people in my entire life... and I loved every minute of it.
