I stopped reading after this, so excuse me if this has been said already.

Perhaps people aren’t correcting you to make themselves feel superior to you. It’s possible they’re hoping that you’ll learn from your mistakes, and save face by not sounding like an idiot at the wrong time. Someday you may think back and be thankful for these corrections. Maybe not.

“ATM machine,” “VIN number.” The redundancy makes people sound ignorant.

“Drive-Thru” annoys me, but it has become the common / accepted spelling. Apparently sign makers chose to shorten “through” for some reason.

I’ve come to the conclusion that most of these mistakes come from reduced literacy. The less often people have to read and write, the less they come in contact with proper spelling and grammar. How many people think “supposably” is a word? Or “irregardless?” I’ve definitely heard people say “for all intensive purposes” or “I could care less.” The latter really annoys me. If you COULD care less, you must have some level of care, but you’re TRYING to imply you don’t care at all, so the correct expression is “I couldn’t care less.”
