The written language is the tool of the people, not vice-versa.

Ah, but the method is more important than the answers! :P

Highly unlikely that they'd ever do it. And if idiot (that's my opinion
at least!) prescriptivists never told people to say 'no! It's not "me
and him"! It's "he and I"!', that kind of thing would never happen in
the first place, so it's the correction that's causing the error :P
