Linguistic elitists—for example, people who shout that "the Blacks don't speak good English" or who get pissed off that "I could care less" is an idiom that exists.

I was a linguistics major in college and, sorry not sorry, language is malleable and it changes over time. You can't stop it. Look the French—the Académié Française can try to legislate the language all they want, but nobody says la coussin de sécurité, they just say l'airbag.
