Linguistic rules are usage-established by speakers of the language. There are rules validated by the literary tradition, for example, and there are rules validated by the tradition of the community. When the latter are not accepted, conflict may ensue, motivated by non-acceptance of the new standard or different standard, usually accompanied by negative evaluations. Taking as a reference, from Brazilian Portuguese, personal pronouns ele/lhe accusative, initial me and se subject (using other categories when the situation is favorable), we seek here to investigate the reasons that lead to such conflicts. We use a set of thoughts from sociolinguistics, functionalism, historical linguistics and grammar tradition, which together lend foundation to the problem, forsaking the need for a comprehensive corpus for the description and explanation of the rules of language, the reason why these theories are utilized only in their general theoretical basis. Examples are sparsely collected from several sources: books, songs, literary texts, essays, but mostly from reports on the internet. That suffices for a critical examination of the issue addressed. For that purpose, standpoints of normativity (the ideal language, homogeneous) and normalcy (the language in use, heterogeneous) were compared. It is in the space in between that lie the causes of conflicts: the idea that the written mode is the model of correctness, resistance to changes and variations, the social imaginary that decides what is right and wrong, ideology inimical to the evolution of language, prescriptions such as "do not use" and "avoid", which wear out the concept of language. For postures such as these, stigmatized uses are not accepted, although they are abundantly used in social communication vehicles
