Corrections are how we reduce lingual entropy. Being corrected shouldn't be embarrassing or shameful, we should welcome corrections so we can be better understood.

Language is collaborative, we're always working to be better understood and to help each other be better understood.

If no one was ever corrected about anything, language will drift so badly we'd lose the ability to communicate. Try reading Olde English, before standardization people would just do whatever they wanted. It ranges from barely legible to gibberish.
