Maybe there is some other authority that you like better, but then who's the authority on which authority to follow? :-) I'm not saying you don't have a good case, but unless the language is French, there is no central authority that decides what's wrong and what's right. Basically, what's proper is just whatever a group of people decides is proper. - Logan
