One man trying to dictate the direction of a language used by a billion people... that's just not going to happen.

Not that I don't sympathize. I think that "it's" should be the possessive form of 'it', not a contraction of 'it is'. Maybe if we band together we can force-feed both our changes at once to the rest of the world?

Languages by definition are fluid. If a certain way of spelling a word or grammatical structure spreads to become popular (possibly, yes, from one person), then it becomes the new normal.

English is fluid like the tides are fluid. The chance that somebody can dictate the direction of that tide is very slim.
