I guess it depends on exactly how wrong the other person is. Most things can just be shrugged off with an eye-roll. If you're an English teacher, this is probably not something you're going to let go. At least not very easily.

How womanly of you to speak for your man like that in regards to how happy you make him.

Well, we live together and never fight. Pretty safe to say that we're happy. Not to mention that he's a former poster who isn't banned, so he could say otherwise if he wanted.

I was just messin' anyway 
But I'll let you ruminate on exactly how feasible this simple task actually is for him.
Anyway, StrawsDrawnAtRandom; The more I think about it, the more it irritates me in your favor. You, being the person who has actually gone through the rigor to learn both languages, obviously has the commanding opinion here of which language is harder. It shouldn't even be in question. Also, pride in the relative difficulty of a language is just asinine. It's frickin' words.

I'll have you know that I flog the dolphin whether I'm in a happy relationship or not.
And if your S.O. claims he doesn't, he's full of shite.

I don't doubt that he does. I do the same occasionally. It's human nature. Human nature. I'm not one of the jealous females that thinks porn is cheating. Porn is amazing and masturbation is healthy.

Indubitably

It's torture because I have this debate regularly. I'm not saying English is a better language (okay I am), but I have this chat at least once every group. About how Spanish is harder (I have many friends not just from Europe but from Hong Kong who say it's much easier than English), it has a larger vocabulary and how it's more expressive than English when it's just completely untrue.
Unilaterally. The only people who say it has a larger vocabulary are Spanish-speaking people. Heck, even now if you look at a site like Wiktionary which lists prefixes alone we have over 1,100 whereas Spanish has somewhere in the range of 200. That's just prefixes, not even the words they're attached to.
Although, I guess I really love her if I'm just gonna let this go.

P.S., thanks for letting me vent guys.

Right is right.
Step 1 is realizing everyone is wrong at least sometimes.
Step 2 is deciding what to do about it.
Is it worth it to be right? yes, but...
Is it worth losing a relationship to prove you are right? Well that's up to you.
Your not choosing whether being right is worth it so much as choosing whether continuing the argument is worth it. At that point just make your case and let it go. When she brings it up on her own (and she will) tell her she knows what you think about it, give a quick summary if you have to, and instantly let it go again.
Edit: The topic itself doesn't matter but its importance to you does. That said, if you (or she) just can't get past an argument over language, your probably heading down a bumpy road.

Here's my cliché of wisdom, pick your battles.

Pick your battles. Trick is to make your girl THINK she's the boss

There are two sides to everything--both hers. That's one of the first things you learn about being with women.

frick that shite. I'd rather be with a man.

It's all about the ratio of rightness to the amount of nookie one can expect to subsequently receive

It is all about paying the cost to be the boss
My wife said,"I don't know why you get so mad. It's just a game."
She thinks it was the dogs that pulled out all the shite in the pantry, chewed it up and spread that shite all over the house last night. "They" even shredded a whole roll of toilet paper. Looked like Mardi Gras. Damn dogs. Just like them to do some shite like that.
Just a game my arse.
She said,"If it weren't for the teeth marks and this shite all chewed up, I wouldn't put it past you to do this shite."
I was mad.
I dumped out her brand new can of mixed nuts and ate all the brazil nuts out, her favorite and put them all back in. She'll be digging around looking for those sumbitches for hours. I hate'em, but I ate 'em.
Just a game my arse.

Still the funniest thing I've read on this site this season

But really, who the frick likes Brazil nuts better than all of the others in the can? That's a dumpable offense in and of itself.

That makes about as much sense as saying English has as many conjugations as Spanish. English has a fraction of the conjugations Spanish does and Spanish has a fraction of the amount of words English does. I think Greek is one of the only languages with more words than English. It has a shite ton.
