Except, when you look up the definitions, you see that they include what he says is incorrect. Specifically, terrific and Enormity.
terrific:
1. extraordinarily great or intense: terrific speed.
2. extremely good; wonderful: a terrific vacation.
3. causing terror; terrifying.
Enormity:
1. outrageous or heinous character; atrociousness: the enormity of war crimes.
2. something outrageous or heinous, as an offense: The bombing of the defenseless population was an enormity beyond belief.
3. greatness of size, scope, extent, or influence; immensity: The enormity of such an act of generosity is staggering.

Enforcing correct usage would decimate the language.
That is, to reduce by one tenth.
