    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.
