Anti-prescriptivists are a myth. Sure, there are people who are deluded enough to think that they are “descriptivists” through and through, they may even shroud their prescriptivism with relativistic jargon, but the actions speak more than words. I have never seen a human who doesn’t think that some words and grammar constructions are appropriate and some are not.
