Do you like to be corrected?

Question

if someone correct you will you, get mad. or thank them,? or would you tell them you need to correct your self you can everyone mistake except your own...

Answer 1

I find being corrected helpful. Since there is so much I don't know, I'm usually happy to be put right.

By the way, "yourself" is one word.

Answer 2

Depends on whether or not I feel that person used polite words. Perhaps I might even thank him or her.
No, if (s)he made a bet with me and I had to be correct to win.
No, if you mean I am on a game show and I lose money or my prize when the host tells me the correct answer (not the one I guessed).
Would I feel mad? Maybe a little, but I would try my best not to show it.

Answer 3

I correct people all the time! I don't like to think of my friends saying something stupid or using the wrong word in front of other people. I don't mind being corrected myself though.

Answer 4

If it's being corrected for the better, I thank them. I'd rather thank them then be left saying or thinking the wrong thing.

Answer 5

I think its rude, but back in the day people used to thank the person that corrected them, I dont get it.

Answer 6

I am glad if somebody corrects me because that means I won't continue thinking something that was false. but most people don't like it because that means admitting they were wrong

Answer 7

i stand corrected by people whom i know that are knowledgeable on the matter corrected.i take as a complement.

Answer 8

yes. I feel happy if they are my teachers or parents. But if they are strangers I will be irritated. But still try to be cool.

Answer 9

When I'm wrong but that happens so rarely

Answer 10

"Or thank them" is not a sentence. Sentences should begin with a capital letter and "your self" should be "yourself". Why do you start a sentence with "or"?
