    Reminder you cannot take a prescriptive approach to English, it can only be viewed descriptively.

    There are is no ‘correct’ way to do anything beyond what its speakers say at the time of observation.

      This IS the descriptive approach. Trying to wrangle fish out of ghoti is simply not how people read.
