This user recognizes that linguistic change is a natural and desirable aspect of human language.

{{User:Unimaginative Username/Userboxes/Majority error}}

Majority ≠ right

This user recognizes that even if 300,000,000 people make the same mistake, it's still a mistake.

{{User:UBX/Userboxes/ad populum}}

majority
≠
ad populum fallacy

Although this user acknowledges the logical fallacy ad populum, they do not think that it applies to human language, and recognise that the majority determines grammatical "right" and "wrong".

{{User:UBX/userboxes/majority change}}

Majority Usage
=
Correct Grammar

This user recognizes that if most people make the same grammatical "mistake", it ceases to be a mistake and becomes proper grammar, for grammar has no immutable or moral "right" or "wrong" and "correct grammar" is determined by majority usage.

{{User:Mgcsinc/Userboxes/Majority is right}}

Speakers Know Best

This user recognizes that grammar comes from humans, not from the heavens. Trust native speakers.
