I'd say it's more accurate to describe Webster and Oxford as documenting established usage, rather than being informal regulators. They generally view their role as being purely observers and not as active influencers of the language. Some other language authorities do not take a usage-evidence-based approach to defining their dictionaries, and take into account cultural or historical concerns. |
