    Not everyone gets offended when they are corrected. When someone corrects my Spanish I presume they are trying to help me rather than put me down.

      Assume. Presume implies you have some reason or evidence for that belief.

      Edit: I find it hilarious how many people are downvoting me for correcting somebody who has just said they appreciate corrections.

        If “having a reason” is ok to use it, then good people existing is a pretty good reason, thus you failed at correcting them.

        I do have a reason for that belief. When I correct someone’s English it is for the same reason.

        Thanks though
