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

They are not "movies", but "films".
'Films' is increasingly becoming an anachronism in these days of
virtually ubiquitous CGI.
Don't get me started at the misuse of the singular and plural cases of

Conservative Party are...", WRONG!
Fowler disagrees.
