Correction it's a disaster of at least 4 languages and this is probably why English is so hard to dethrone as it have no strict ownership so everyone is kind of equal in speaking it incorrectly.
Sometimes lack of rigidity is actually an feature that allows for things to sort of work that would be politically impossible if thinks had to be specified formally before being used.
