> That is the fun thing about English. There isn't really a single right way to speak or write it. It is defined by common usage. As long as your audience understands you, it is correct.

That's how all languages work - to the chagrin of l'Académie Française - English is no special exception.

I like to believe that, by definition, the only person who speaks English properly is the King of England. Everyone else has an accent.
