Be the Adult in the Room

Question

Here goes the scenario, most of the time this happens while eating dinner, where one of my step kids will correct my "wording" or how I "phrased some words" I used in a sentence. I work all day and come home to let my guard down and I take it personally (I feel dumb) when they constantly have to correct my grammar. Yes, sometimes I mis-speak, but they know exactly what I mean without having to say "whatever word" I didn't say correctly. To be honest, writing this question I feel dumb, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Would you consider them correcting me, they're trying to control dinner, and it is a power thing for them? Do I just need to not be so sensitive after a long day at work? When I get upset and call them out they always say were "joking". I mean I could make them feel "dumb" all the time with all the things they don't know how to do.
