"Teachers who intentionally disrespect their students probably shouldn't be teachers" is a pretty low standard for tyranny.

Grammar rules (like pronouns) are also descriptive, rather than prescriptive. But there is a certain irony in "language is by consent...not diktat" coming from the "language is what I say it is" camp.

Ahh yes, the immutable English language - that bastion of permanency since time immemorial.

>You're a tyrant.
"There are consequences to being inconsiderate / rude / intentionally spiteful in a workplace" is not synonymous with tyranny, however much you'd like it to be.
