Why aren't you speaking Old English?

  I'm guessing you're accusing me of prescriptivism -- OE of a bad choice, spelling and grammar were basically anarchy (Latin might have been a better choice?). I'm not a proscriptivist, language use changes but I don't believe majority usage is automatically correct.

    If those using the language don't decide what's "correct" (whatever that means), who does? If the person listening can understand the meaning the speaker was trying to convey, that's as correct as it can be. You don't have to like it. But who are you to declare something objectively right or wrong?
