Things that make me very uncomfortable:
When a person whose image/branding is partly based on their Being Very Smart (and whose image/branding matters somewhat, like, say, a reasonably high-profile author) posts something on Twitter that I reply to (I thought) quite innocuously and in a way that didn't need replying to, particularly...
... and they reply to correct me on my use of a term...
... and they are unquestionably, definitely wrong.
(I looked it up to check I wasn't somehow misremembering. I was not.)
And someone even retweets it, and... like, not only do I not like letting misinformation stand, but also, I'm kind of insulted by being condescendingly corrected?
But I don't actually want to make a high-profile black woman author look bad?
But seriously, you didn't have to be loudly wrong at me? You have a blue check and literally a thousand times as many followers as I do... maybe let it slide even if you think I am wrong? (I am not.)
