The dictionary is the authority on the correct spelling of words

So one chooses the dictionary that matches one's argument? Which
dictionary?

So if you consult an American dictionary you would start calling
fringes "bangs"? YUCK and BIG SPIT.

They are not "movies", but "films".

Don't get me started at the misuse of the singular and plural cases of
verbs when discussing singular entities. For example, "the
Conservative Party are...", WRONG!

As in, which is correct, in the case of a double
yolker, "The yolks of an egg is white"
or, "The yolks of an egg are white" ?
