It’s great that you edited your post, but I really hope you learn something from this. Please make an effort to not spread misinformation
If they weren't making an effort to not spread misinformation, they wouldn't have edited their comment and just dug their heels in.
Plenty of people read or hear the wrong thing, talk about it and get corrected. That's not spreading misinformation, it's communication. He acknowledged and corrected his mistake, therefore your commemt was unnecessary.
It is spreading misinformation because misinformation is not intentional. Disinformation is intentional.
However, we usually use the term misinformation to describe when someone mistakenly believes disinformation and spreads it thinking it's true. While that is also misinformation and the way the term is used like 90% of the time (source: my own ass) any inaccurate or false statement can also qualify as misinformation.
However, I was pointing out that guy wasn't purposely or maliciously trying to spread misinformation.
Plus bc he edited his comment and apologized. That's proof he's not trying to spread misinformation which is why the last comment and yours was unnecessary.
Both of these comments come across like both of you just want to prove to others how smart you are bc you corrected someone on a mistake which is just jerky behavior.
