France has an authority for their language and its three main domestic dialects.

It'd be nice if a similar but global body gate-kept the drift in English. The current system where high-school cliques decides what's Fetch and Mirriam-Webster's monkeys just write it all down with no cohesion is not a basis for progress.

Language people: English has surprising inconsistencies.

Also language people: 'literally' now also means its exact opposite because Ashley said so.

Lmao, imagine using France as an example for what to do.

Is there some frequency (weekly? monthly?) with which drift has impaired your communications, impacted your work?

It’s OK if it’s just a general frustration, I’m only curious.
