This issue people have with some fixed phrases is bizarre to me.

Might as well say "Actually, this 'morning' isn't 'good' at all!" and pretend you have a point. Really devalues anything following it by revealing the person saying it to be an obnoxious pedant.

But standing up for women's rights this way get's more retweets, which is the ultimate measure of success after all, so what do I know?

I get a lot of compliments on my use of the English language and I absolutely cannot stand prescriptivists (among other pedants).
