Right, but as all similar such committees eventually learn, there's a pretty strict limit to what they can actually control or regulate. Mostly it's just formal written usage that can be regulated. Spoken language doesn't give a shit about anyone's notions of what's considered correct or incorrect. This is one of the foundational principles of linguistics.

They've been at it since 1713 so I think they'll be ok.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
