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

linked pages

{{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".

linked pages

{{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.

linked pages

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

Speakers Know Best

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