Your English is incorrect for this context.

I am a linguist; there is no morality in language.  There are many
dialects and each is appropriate to its own context, so that there is
no "correct" or "incorrect" language, except with regards to a
specific context.

I'm more educated than you are about the nature of language in
general, and about the English language in particular.

No.  Are you?
