Between India and Pakistan, there are about as many English speakers as there are in the United States! I'd think that makes a common turn of phrase used there to be correct by consensus.
- michaelmrose 3y agoGood point, however communication is about what other people are liable to understand. To your final sentence I would append "within the context of that group of people". Usage of language is liable even in our interconnected world to diverge and this is perfectly acceptable. It is probably more meaningful yet to define whether a particular usage is useful than correct.
