Lawyers, I correct them every time.
Judges and clerks, you gotta be nice to . . . no matter how stupid they are.
Seeing as how referrals are a big part of the solo business, you might want to reconsider correcting the lawyers.

eta: I'd rather be corrected gently by a colleague than make an embarrasing mistake repeatedly by standing on pride.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
