Correcting people's mistakes is not nitpicking, it's how people learn.

Correction. It can be.

Nitpicking: looking for small or unimportant errors or faults, especially in order to criticize unnecessarily.

See what I did there? We can keep going, but it adds no value. It's tortises all the way down.

Indeed, and neither you nor the GP were criticising.

Oh, really? So how is one supposed to learn from just getting a list of corrections with no explanation whatsoever?

If you want someone to learn, help them. If you're not willing to do that leave it be. If you can't leave it be, you probably only want to nitpick.
