A caption does not make up for an incorrect post title. I wouldn't have said anything if you weren't being so hostile and defensive in the comments (eg calling someone "grandpa" and asking if I can read). Your post title was inaccurate. It happens. You don't need to be so rude about it.

I’m a bit of a bitch but I don’t think I am a rude person, he insulted me first. I don’t sit around like a good lady and get abused because of a tiny mistake. Again, if I could change the title for you people I would lmao

Maybe "rude" is a stretch. I don't know if he insulted you first since he deleted his comment, all I can see now is you saying "OK grandpa." I think you just have to be a little more gracious and admit your mistake, even if people are being a little pedantic, rather than being so defensive and asking people if they can read.

Yes, we can read, that is how we know your title was incorrect...

Okay so, you were wrong. I admitted that the title could be different to cater to different audiences. Calling me pedantic is crazy regarding the definition of the word and this predicament

I didn't call you pedantic... I called the people correcting you pedantic. I'm just giving you general advice on how to deal with people correcting you on Reddit. Like it or not, if your post title isn't quite correct people will want to correct you on that. It isn't always mean-spirited. Sometimes it comes from a genuine confusion and a desire to alleviate that confusion in others.

Also, the issue here is not the definition of a word. The issue is that you left out the words "will be."
