Some languages, like French, have a group which can dictate what is and isn't correct in the language (as it turns out, the vast majority of French speaking people don't give a rat's butt about what the Académie Française thinks and still do as they please, but that's another story).

In English, however, there is no such authority. Whether you are writing a SQL query or an SQL query is all up to you. Aren't you happy you don't have an old wrinkly white French dude to chastise you about which one is correct?
