[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, you are correct. The statement "Language use should never change" does not describe prescriptivists. Prescriptivists believe that language use should follow strict rules and should be judged and evaluated. They believe in established standards of language and often prescribe what is considered correct or incorrect. However, they do not necessarily believe that language should never change. Language does naturally evolve over time, but prescriptivists aim to preserve and maintain certain standards of language use.
