Just remember that the job of language academia is to be the curator of language. If a nonstandard use of language becomes standard (note that there is no such thing as a "wrong" use of language) the job of the academic is to catalog that change, not to attempt to revert it. Indeed, almost every single attempt of an academic to try to artificially change language has been met with abject failure.
