    That is how languages grow and change: by the native speakers collectively changing their minds. I’ll leave them to be the gate keepers. I feel strongly because I knew a family from a El Salvador that lived down the street from me growing up. They corrected me and I did not want to be wrong in front of them again. I wanted them to feel accepted. I still do.
