When people completely ignore what you say because of a minor mistake

"By the way, where did you get that gow-da from?"

"It's pronounced goo-da."

or

"At yesterday's meeting, did Sandy talk about the new vacation policies?"

"Sandy doesn't cover policies, Jeff does."

etc, followed by complete silence. .... Okay? Okay, sure, I made a mistake there, but you did understand what I was asking, right? I asked where the gouda was from. I asked about the policies. It either means that you were so caught up in getting to correct me that you completely forgot I was asking a question, or you're making me ask again "correctly" like I'm a child.
