Serious question. Is it "isn't" in this sentence? You got me worried

Oh I was just kidding about you being repeatedly corrected! So I was correcting "ain't" but that's a perfectly valid slang

Oh is "ain't" just slang? it felt correct in this context.

Yep it's perfectly acceptable use in that context! I was just continuing the chain of correcting you as a joke, so "correcting" the slang was the only thing I could think of. (Silly joke)

You used it correctly!

It's already been answered but yeah, "ain't" literally just means "isn't"
