Publicly correcting another person's vocabulary, spelling, or pronunciation is rude. Trying to get off the hook by reframing it as any variation of I was just trying to help you or I was just kidding or we're on the same side etc. etc. doesn't work for me. These are the kinds of things people say or write when they do not want to take responsibility for what they say or write or do.
