      English is defined by popularity, not managed by rules. So, English is ruled by whatever the mob wants, just like ignorant racism in early 1900s America: mob rule.

      In this case, the largest group of English speakers is in India. That accent is a little too Mumbai for me, young man: get it back to Received Delhi Standard by next review or you’re fired.
