The Recurse Center (formerly Hacker School) has among their social rules one that discourages "Well-Actually's". Quite pleasant. > A well-actually happens when someone says something that's almost - but not entirely - correct, and you say, "well, actually…" and then give a minor correction. This is especially annoying when the correction has no bearing on the actual conversation. This doesn't mean the Recurse Center isn't about truth-seeking or that we don't care about being precise. Almost all well-actually's in our experience are about grandstanding, not truth-seeking. (Thanks to Miguel de Icaza for originally coining the term "well-actually.") https://www.recurse.com/manual https://www.recurse.com/manual
