@mWare@ottawa.place I'm not sure what you mean by OCED but the ultimate language authority is usage. Dictionaries are modified year to year to reflect the way the language is being used. If a word or spelling is in use enough then it's added. What is enough is of course somewhat subjective. :)

@Chigaze@cosocial.ca Indeed, see elsewhere in the thread re: prescriptivism vs. descriptivism :)
