When the vending machines upstairs are low on coins, they flash the message, "USE CORRECT CHANGE". As a descriptivist, I find this deplorable. Just because my change isn't precisely what you'd prefer, that doesn't make it somehow "incorrect".

Ours says "use exact change".

See, that's what I'm used to. Not only less judgmental, but more concise as well!

Wow. That's not too far off "use normal change." I join you in your deploring.

See, that's not change we can believe in.
