And sometimes it really doesn't matter.
Implied above (see "sometimes").
I guess it's up to the individual reader to decide if your "precision" was really necessary, or more in line with the grammar and spelling Nazis who prigishly point out every minor error they find on the internet.
It's also up to the individual commenter to debate the value of a correction, as I did. I wasn't alone in concluding that the distinction is worth maintaining, as evidenced by other comments.
I used to do this kind of thing often enough that my behavior probably fit your description there. I've dialed it back dramatically as I grew up and mellowed out. If it's still occasionally viewed as excessive, there's not much I can do about that. I'm genuinely trying to maintain just enough emphasis on precision that the quality of communication is not degraded.
