Co-worker is trying to outsmart me…

Any advice on working with a co-worker who keeps trying to outsmart me, and it not working? Latest example is her trying to act like she knows more about video formats than me. I asked for video in 1080i format in an email, to which she then CC’d a bunch of people in a reply that said, “You mean you want this in 16×9? You should say that from the beginning in language everyone understands.” I sent a reply explaining that 1) 1080i is in 16×9, and 2) 16×9 is an aspect ratio and not a video resolution. I require the video resolution, not the ratio. She kept trying to double down though, and it was painful trying to explain video editing to her. One of many examples of her trying and failing to outsmart me.
