I don't actually agree with the corrections, though.

Those phrases are similar, but subtly different. It depends on whether you meant you hear them every day, but not always a lot... Or whether you hear them constantly throughout the day, every day.




Yeah, maybe 'each day' or something would have been a better fit - regardless, my preferred recommendation was a comma or two.

And mostly I really was just kidding, actively looking for anything to nitpick on in a comment talking about correcting people's grammar.

'to correct' without a (with an implied) direct object is also fine in colloquial speech, or internet comments.
