I live in the South now and just say "Bless your heart"

When someone corrects a mistake I made I consider that a kindness.

My Mother spoke flawless, un-accented English, learned ih a Berlin high school (gymnasium) before the war. The only clue to her foreign birth was her refusal to use contractions, like isn't for is not and aren't for are not (the use of ain't was unthinkable). I was a product of the British educational system, from nursery school through university and when, at age 22, I emigrated to the US back in 1960 my mother made me promise to write weekly (transatlantic phone calls were shockingly expensive back then). Every once in a while she would return my letter with errors in grammar and spelling circled in red.
