Being a language pedant is nothing to be proud of. The actual linguists don't take that that position, you're just performing for Internet points

Professor of applied linguistics here, can confirm, language is fluid, don't be a goober

It's ironic that the people who are the loudest about the literacy crisis seem to have such a narrow understanding of "literacy".

Hey, I'm just giving you constructive criticism. Broaden your understanding of language before criticizing the language of others.
