You're basically saying anyone with a different opinion from yours is ignorant, among other things. That pretty much seems like a "change or else you'll stay ignorant"

I hear people remark about how stupid English is all the damn time and I don't get all uppity and offended over it. Most of the time I even agree with it.
Mostly because a certain person seems to think that language is made by scholars in ivory towers, and not through natural evolution by the speaking masses. If you're saying that about a language, you're saying that about the language speakers, because they're the ones who make it.

It's correct now. The erroneous sources just need to update themselves.

Even if they don't, that doesn't stop what's correct from being correct.
It doesn't matter what you think. Until the majority accepts it, it's not correct. Not because a minority wants it to be.
