My brother is a perpetual corrector. Example: If I say Andes instead of Alps, I am corrected immediately, before I can take a breath. This has been going on for years. I'm not the only one he does this too. I find it demeaning. Am I wrong thinking this is a form of bullying? I've mentioned it to him or I'll sarcastically say, "thank you for correcting me". We're not kids, I'm 70 and he's 72. I told him the other day (after being corrected) that if I ever get dementia or Alzheimer's to please not do that. Should I just shrug it off and not let it get to me? I love him and don't want to hurt his feelings, but I am sick and tired of it. I'm not an idiot - I think it's important that I mention that I started a business 20 years ago building it from the ground up and it was very successful. I did well in school and college. I just retired this past January when I turned 70.
Yes, you should speak up to him. This behavior is demeaning and you should let him know. If he does this to others, then he probably doesn't know how hurtful his behavior is. Try the sandwich technique. Say something good about him (that is true) then give him the feedback about how hurtful correcting people is, then say something good again. This is the loving thing to do, even if it hurts his feelings.
George Saint Pierre once told he was bullied by a boy at school bus, bully was constantly beating him, after a while george hear about that bullys father was beating bully constantly, so he was communicating with beating others.
THIS IS an ABSOLUTE
non NEGOTIABLE

I don’t think you have to get physical to be a bully
That is correct. Most bullying is psychological.
