          Depends on if you’re a linguist or an English teacher. Linguists only care about effective communication. Whereas language teachers tend to focus on an arbitrary standard based on tradition and accepted academic norms

          Unfortunately most people don’t have a linguistics course. Hence why the internet is full of people who think they’re “correct” but have terrible communication skills
