I really enjoy it when I say something and my interlocutor comments that while they know the word or expression from their reading, they've never heard anyone use it in conversation.

I have to remind myself that my students *don't* necessarily view pronunciation-correction that way before I correct theirs. As their teacher it's still permissible coming from me, but I have to try to frame it tactfully.
