Why should language be controlled by central, and private organizations like Merriam-Webster, Oxford English Dictionary, etc.? Language is organic and should evolve with people. What better to reflect that than a crowd sourced dictionary?

    It depends what you mean by a “proper standard”. Anyone can reference a dictionary. A dictionary is an extension of language, and, by that extension, it should evolve organically as language does.
