the language is called English so by definition, they are correct in everything.

English is defined by popularity, not managed by rules. So, English is ruled by whatever the mob wants, just like ignorant racism in early 1900s America: mob rule.

In this case, the largest group of English speakers is in India. That accent is a little too Mumbai for me, young man: get it back to Received Delhi Standard by next review or you're fired.
