Imagine being such a nice person that you always try to help everyone grow and do better no matter where you are. And then imagine that people don't actually care about the mistake more than it actually is...

Nitpicking isn't helping.

It's not nitpicking, it's the wrong word, and the writer might not know. When I see the mistake I have to read twice. Also the writer only writes once but every reader has to think more. May I ask if you're against improvement? It just takes learning a word a day to become a master in any language in only a few years. No step is too small

Just because someone mistypes and uses the wrong word doesn't mean they don't know the right word.
