You don't have to. It was just ignorance.

This is face-to-face, I would assume.
Writing precisely and to the point, doesn't mean it is not polite.
When people participate in many mailing lists, in general, they are
only interested in content, not, the style of language or the
vocabulary used. Technical writing is not the same as essay writing :)
There is more interest in 'technical content' than the language itself.

No issues! The fact that you made an effort to understand, and not be
put out by the replies, is the _attitude_ that I, and I hope others as
well seek when new people join in our community.
Thanks for your understanding.
