In our big company we have a media department which is monthly creating a company magazine with various articles. Over the last two magazines, I noticed that the name of a new software is not written correctly. As our department is responsible for the rollout of the new software, I wrote an email to the person who wrote the articles in both magazines and stated out politely how the software is written correctly in order to prevent confusion in future. I never met the author of the articles in person nor had contact with her before (big company as I said). However, I did not get any answer from her, but at least the name of the software is now written correctly.
What have I done wrong? Why did I annoy the person? I just wanted her to help doing her job better. How should I have done that?

Were you expecting an answer? Why? People often refrain from writing 'thank you' emails. Was there more to discuss?

Well in our country it is common to either confirm or even say "thanks" in such cases.

She changed the article to now write the correct spelling. So it seems she got your message.

What have I done wrong? Why did I annoy the person?
You haven't done anything wrong. I also doubt she was more than momentarily annoyed. She's probably forgotten all about it now. It's much the same as me fixing a spelling error here, no need for a thank you.
So if you didn't get a thank you email, don't worry about it. Only worry if you got a nasty email.
