      You can try, but even if you have a majority of people using the correct version, still the other one can proliferate.

      Kinda how people still say “could of” instead of “could have” even when there’s always someone noting the mistake.

      Unfortunately languages go where they want. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        That’s when we deploy vicious mockery and downvotes. Languages may try to go where they want, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t yank on the steering wheel.
