Thank you with a kick:)
"Thank you for the correction anyway", adding "anyway" to this phrase makes it a bit impolite? It sounds a little rude, doesn't it? It is like saying Thank you but I didn't ask for your help.
I just want to know if it is Ok to use it.

If someone offers help, but it's not *exactly* what you're looking for, it is common to say, "It's not what I need, but thanks anyway." Basically, you're thanking them for trying and putting forth some effort. It's not impolite if used in this context.

I think it depends on each person, some people may take it as impolite, some others may not. I must say I've used it when someone actually corrected based on my style of expressing myself, I.e. writing style, rather than based on grammatical or ortographical errors. I said "I wanted the entry to be like that, but thanks for correcting, anyway" ...... So maybe that justifies a bit why that help was a bit unnecessary... As opposed to real corrections. Expressing yourself in other language may be tricky sometimes.
