I have a rather odd question. Since plural noun is used ' corrections ', do you think to say ' I love them ..... ' is better to make the sentence look more balanced ?
No, because it does not refer to corrections. Instead, it refers to something unspoken but implied. Put in words, the form would be something like this:
  • I like it when you help me.

Or:
  • I appreciate it when you point out my mistakes.

The "it" in the sentence in question refers to a process or an action or a series of actions or a habit. (Take your pick. :wink: )
