The Correction Guy meme, widely known for the 'Ackchyually' illustration, embodies the spirit of the stereotypical internet pedant. The character—often depicted with glasses, a smug expression, and a raised finger—represents someone who is more concerned with technical accuracy than the actual conversation at hand. Originating in the early 2010s across message boards like 4chan and Reddit, the image quickly became the go-to response for mocking people who interject with unnecessary corrections. Today, it is used both to poke fun at 'know-it-alls' and as a self-deprecating way to share niche, overly specific information that nobody asked for.
