Frank, I think how is upset with me.
why?
He claims I correct his grammar every time he open his mouth.
Thats silly reason to be angry.
He should be mad at you because of your driving!
continuing to correct somebody who does not want to improve is a mistake.the other person should help you correct that mistake by busting you in the chops.
I SWEAR this woman is related to my mom. Her pet peeve was “like”. (She’d go mad today!) “Like” means to be fond of – end of discussion. It looks as if it’s going to rain. That animal resembles a fox. And on and on. I was almost afraid to open my mouth.
The way I learned it, “like” can be used as a preposition (“like this example”), but shouldn’t introduce a subordinate clause (“like I really care”); for that task, one should use a subordinating-conjunction phrase such as “as if” or “as though.”
I think that that’s the underlying point in her character… as much as she goes around pointing out "grammatical flaws’, she herself is not above anyone else…she too has vulnerability, and her own set of imperfections….. or limitations, if you will….

We should ALL be mad at you because of your driving if that’s the case

When someone keeps correcting you for using colloquial rather than formal English hand her over a ticket for her driving.

That would be “He should be ANGRY with you because of your driving.” Mad is a mental state, as in he’s gone mad (crazy, looney). Sorry, I had to…. ;)

Especially when she corrects your grammar while driving crappy.
