I know it's not inherent to the English language, that's why I want to not care about it. But it's also something that was ingrained into me early in my education, so it's something I care about a little. Like multiplication tables. No one cares about multiplication tables but they're hard to forget when you're drilled on it from 4th grade to high school.
That seems like a bad example, since those tables are objectively correct and do have quotidian use, rather than being a falsehood of which knowledge is actually harmful.
