If you'd made a stray comment in any other thread, then that would be fair enough and I'd apologise for being pedantic, but when someone is learning a language we owe it to them to be as accurate as possible. For that reason I take offense at your tone somewhat, because I think that telling him he's making errors when he isn't will only serve to confuse him.
Over and out
Edit: I'd also add another user also said the same as I did, so it is rather unfair you would accuse only me of making a 'big deal'. |
"Making a mountain out of a mole hill" Another idiom.
