Urgh

I hate when people make corrections when the original was actually right, and are very self-righteous about it.You know, if they go "I'm sorry, but I can't stand it when people get this wrong. So, this this this and that are wrong, duh," and half the time they are incorrect themselves. I mean, if you are sincerely concerned with an error, or simply wish to be helpful, you can say it much better than that. The most recent time I've come across this was looking at Inuyasha summaries for reference for a FanFiction. Someone was correcting the other people's summaries, and they were really rude and self-righteous, and every correction was incorrect! Kilala is the way Kirara is spelled in many English subtitles and all dubs (and the hard 'r' sound that it should be pronounced with is pretty close to an 'l' anyway) Kikyou and Kikyo are both correct spellings, and Tetsusaiga and Tessaiga are written almost identically in Japanese, and pronounced similarly, and most subtitles have made this interpretation error, and therefore most people have no way of knowing the original spelling. So go shove your high-and-mighty corrections up your ass.
