Do you always correct people when you know they are wrong about something?

I usually give folks a pass when they say something that's a bit "out there" on the off chance they may be right. That said, I had a friend that swore the Mississippi River was 5 miles wide at the I-10 bridge in BR. I just had to call him on that stupidity (wasn't the first time he'd said stuff like that) and laid $5 on it. I hauled his arse in a car and we drove over the bridge. It was .5 miles bank to bank.

Also, I deplore people who have to correct just because they can. Keeping quiet can be tactful, especially in an important conversation/meeting - when it's obvious it was a simple mis-speak.
