So lately I find myself spending inordinate amounts of time online correcting people on various things, usually things that are completely inconsequential. I can't help myself, I'm an addict.
So what gets your goat? Are there any topics that draw this response from you? What are they?
For me, my three big ones are;
- Evolution; I'm no biologist, but the basic facts aren't that hard. Still, I see people getting them wrong all the time.
- Physics; Now, I am a student of Physics, and there are so many misconceptions about Physics that sometimes I wonder how we've made it this far as a species.
- Swordplay; this one doesn't come up quite as often, but I've learnt(/am in the process of learning) various historical European sword fighting styles and the knowledge is less accessible than the other two. This one somehow gets me the worst (I've been known to write 1600 word responses on this topic), despite the fact that it matters the least.
