This is elitist. Language is descriptive not prescriptive
It's a throw-away line in a movie. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
And yet we have multiple languages. So, at some point English must stop being English.
But must we apply judgment to such boundaries? If it ceases to be English is it ‘good’ again?
Must judgement be applied when categorizing? Yes, because categorization is judgement.
