A Grammar Nazi in the Galactic Empire

If this were real, that young whippersnapper would be force choked so fast it'd make your head spin. The Emperor does not like to be corrected. Today's comic from Randall Munroe at xkcd appears to combine two of our recent posts, the one about how Star Wars could have been worse, and the one about how to deal with grammar nazis.

In this case it actually is archaic, used in rather canonical past English works, e.g. in the King James Bible and by Shakespeare. There is a rather big difference between incorrect and archaic.

So, when my high school students use improper grammar in their writings, I should just dismiss that as an archaic usage? Not buying it. Being educated in the simplest rules of grammar (that one is pretty universal across languages) shouldn't be archaic.
