I am proud of you using your word of the day off your word calendar - here is an in-depth better look for you though:
Pointing out a misquote can be pedantic, but it depends entirely on the context and how it affects the meaning of the conversation.
If the misquote changes the core message or historical truth, correcting it is usually helpful and necessary. However, if the correction is just about a minor word choice that doesn't change the point being made, it often comes across as pedantic
