PC linguistic prescriptivism really does get quite tiresome rather quickly. Quite a lot of people have grown up with, and used for decades, the language they learned as children. What's your fucking hurry; can't you be satisfied that their usage will die out with them?

Or go campaign for a while for the French to drop the article from "Le Danemark", or something equally useful.
