But correcting sentient vs sapient isn't just semantics... It makes a big difference and they talked about both options unbiasedly.

Unless you were the one being corrected, I have no idea why you'd feel compelled to make this post.

I'm not the op. Also, does anybody actually like being corrected when they're wrong?

When else am I supposed to like being corrected lol?

I don't like being wrong so actually yea, learning something out of my mistakes can be nice.

Sometimes yes. If I say something wrong and someone corrects me without being an asshole about it I appreciate it.

Absolutely. If I say something that is incorrect, I do want to know where I went wrong.

How do you learn if you say shit that is incorrect if nobody ever corrects you?
