What exactly do you mean with "off limits" ?
Correcting someone is for their benefit. Sometimes people have so much issues it doesnt benefit them and wastes your time in the process...lose-lose situation. Those are times you shouldnt correct.
I correct others so they may see where they went wrong,
If they refuse, well then...

Are there cases in which you're uncomfortable with correcting someone? Or are there cases that would make it feel unjust to correct another person?
Genuinely curious, so you do it for the other person's benefit? In terms of growth? Does that give you satisfaction?
So you do so, to help them?

Do people actually believe this? It always seems to me like correcting someone is usually more for the corrector's ego than any "benefit". How does implicitly telling someone how stupid and incompetent they are benefit them?

Echoing prpl and Poki. If it's one of those errors where someone says something but means something else and their intent is clear I don't bother because communication was successful. If it isn't, I'll ask what they mean so that they'll retread. If they don't seem receptive to correction, I say nothing.
I've often found people react better to "what makes you say that?" as opposed to "you're wrong. so wrong. omg wtf stop being wrong." Win-win since it gives me a chance to see where they're coming from. Who knows, maybe I'm the one that's wrong .
