When can I use "correct" and "fix"?
What's the difference?So what's the right way of say it "Could you guys fix (correct?) the commas to me?"? Or this doesn't make sence?

You can correct something when there's a mistake or error in it.
You can fix something when it's broken.

Correct: I want to correct my mistakes
Fix: I want to fix the motor. or
I want to fix the date or
I am looking for all the possible ways to fix this unfortunate situation. = meaning setting things straight.
Basically, Correct - as u might know is to correct the wrong things..
whereas fix can be either used for things.. as above or can also be used to set a time or date .. or it can also be used in correcting wrong doings in certain issues (informal usage)
Hope it helps :)
