That's a nice way to bring it to perceptual level but just imagine if an invading army of time travelers forced Americans to learn Old English cause we were all speaking the wrong English. You can't tell them that your bastardized form of English is in fact the right form of English, but it is your form of English that you use on a day to day basis to speak to your friends, family, and most people you deal with so who are a bunch of medieval *******s to tell you that you should speak to all the people in your culture how they speak to the people in their culture?
