I don't know. I kinda like that "ruthful" thing. Besides, according to the etymology of the word (not to be confused with its entymology, of which it has none), he actually does have a point. In Middle English, reuthe was a word for pity or compassion.
On a related note, I actually do linguistic munts all the time. Annoying slips of the tongue, they are.
