That's more like it.
You got off lightly compared to most people she corrects Taupey. You must be in her good books.
My son, William who we also call Liam and Hoover, is an Aspergian too, is the same way as Monkey and has corrected me often over the years about his special interests which are dinosaurs, cars and everything military. So I'm quite use to it actually and it's an opportunity for me to learn about something I know little or nothing of. None of us can know everything and I certainly don't. I would rather someone tell me if and or when I get the name of something wrong than allow me to think what's wrong is right, as long as they don't scream at me or don't seriously talk down to me, it doesn't bother me and I sincerely appreciate being told the correct thing.

Clumpy hair from the chlorine at the swimming pool. I haven't taken my contacts out yet either.

I know what you mean there. Nothing wrong with correcting others / being corrected, as long as it's not done in a belittling manner. People always tell me I'm a pedant, and it gets on their nerves. I'm more pedantic than MONKEY actually, but I try hard to keep myself from coming across as a jerk.
And if you ever need correcting about dinosaurs, and your son isn't around, you can count on me. [/smugmodeinitiated]
