Both matter and both indicate it shouldn’t be used but the way it’s used is more important. It’s not descriptivist lol, I’m referring to the way it’s currently used and historically

I'm not descriptivist

Updooted on hooxbear, never thought I'd see the day of the prescriptivists

I didn’t say I’m descriptivist. I said my statement wasn’t descriptivist

descriptivism = good, correct

prescriptivism = bad, the opposite of correct

I agree your statement isn't descriptivist, it's prescriptivist, which is why it's not correct. Hope that clears things up.
