Yes, sorry, hoard, not horde.

Oh come on, you knew he used the wrong word… This isn’t any better, you know. Some people would see this as patronizing.

I appreciate the correction, helps me learn something new.

You didn’t know that horde and hoard were different words?

I did, doesn't mean people don't make mistakes or sometimes use words incorrectly.

So what did you learn then?

I learned that I used it incorrectly in that instance. Why are you so insistent on a simple grammatical mistake? I don't understand why you care whether someone learned or didn't learn.

I don't care about the grammatical mistake (and you didn't "learn" anything then, no knowledge was gained).

What bothers me is the passive-aggressive way the other person pointed it out.

I didn't take it passively aggressively at all, as the OP of this thread. Only you're doing so.

It’s objectively obtuse, there’s simply no way he genuinely thought your mistake was an alternative way to use horde.
