I've had people try to correct me when I say it but its what its called. I said "burglarized" to somebody from Cambridge once and they said it wasn't a word. I said "burgled" sounded too much like "buggered" and I wasn't going to use it.
Bad grammar is bad grammar but to correct somebody when what they are saying is perfectly understandable is just pedantic, I'm severely Dyslexic along with over 10% of the population, this often affects written grammar and punctuation. I really don't understand the need to correct people unless you don't understand what they are saying.
