Agreed here. And it wasn't something serious enough to be corrected on. So when someone gives you a greeting, greet back and don't critique their grammar and words.
My friend would do that with texting. If I made a small typo, she'd feel the need to correct it, even if she knew what it meant. But she hated it when I did it to her at one point, to show her how annoying that is. Hypocrite.
I heard somewhere that the need to correct people's grammar can result from some kind of mental issue
Interesting how many are jumping on the guy for a seemingly innocuous response.
We don't know the exact context of the situation. How long have they been dating, and what is their relationship like.
Anyways, a little joke doesn't seem like something to get all bent out of shape for. If I were dating someone that couldn't take a simple joke, might be better off looking elsewhere. Do you really want to spend any more time with someone that seems to have a chip on their shoulder?

It's not at all "interesting." A guy married for 50 years could still be annoyed by one standalone comment his wife makes.

It's safe to say the joke fell flat. That's a risk of texting.
If I were the OP I wouldn't think too much about it in terms of doing 'wrong.'
Not responding was the best thing to do, if someone can't take a simple joke like that without getting all bent out of shape, sucks to be them. I get it we have good days and bad days, but if a person can't have any good or light hearted days, again, sucks to be them.
And if I were the OP, I certainly wouldn't come to this particular forum to seek approval or validation that their line of thought is the correct one as it regards to these types of situation. The same people that would lecture others to 'lighten up,' 'stop being PC,' etc. etc., in these cases flip flop and suddenly criticize the OP.
I receieved a text from this girl I have been dating about half an hour ago 2:22 central time
The text from her simply said "good morning"
I replied "don't you mean afternoon? lol"
She texted back after a few minutes "I just woke up. Thats why I said good morning. I hate when people try to fix what I'm saying. It's annoying!"
I just sat there and ignored it and didn't reply.
Should I say something?
I don't have a problem with your text. If a guy I liked said that to me, I wouldn't have gotten snappy with him. How are things going with you two otherwise?
You don't need to do anything. You made an off the cuff response and she totally overreacted.
