Usage defines language not the other way around That depends on whether you take a prescriptive or descriptive approach.

  And the prescriptivist approach is dumb, because no one has the authority to prescribe English usage. We don’t have an Academie française, and even English dictionaries explicitly disavow any intent to mandate correct usage and state that they are only cataloging real world speech.
