If you ever want to sound super-pretentious mention that they're using sermo vulgaris which would most likely be historically correct. Sigh to signal your exasperation with the common arts always using sermo latinus like it was a thing and say something witty about intellectual laziness. That and a good tweed can get you laid in certain university libraries.

Very hard to understand why these actors are using the formal conjugation! Ah ah aaaaaah.
