Do you think "offended" means "correcting incorrectness"? Did your grade school teachers seem offended to you? No. And this helped me understand your style.
I get it, you're speaking emotionally through exaggeration to make a point. And by "you don't live in the US", you must've meant that they didn't understand your American style of over exaggeration.
But if you want to be understood, it helps to use words as they're intended, or make it more clear that you're being dramatic for effect.
