Getting defensive isn’t needed.

The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

Sometimes context will inform the reader whether or not the writer genuinely made a mistake or was ignorant. I’m just being helpful here, so don’t get defensive.

It wasn’t meant in a negative way - I’ve just seen “Love Stuck” a couple times on lemmy and wanted to make sure you knew the correct version. You’re not the first I’ve seen call it that for whatever reason so it was just kind of a general correction so others didn’t bone-apple-tea the phrase themselves.

No sweat. No offense taken.
