Over the past 50 years, the irregular use of language has stirred up a serious debate between regularists who believe in the need for instruction in how to speak and write and regularists who believe in the need for instruction in how to speak and write. On the other side are the descriptionists, who say we can only talk about language in its current use. Prescriptivists hold that some usages are right and some are wrong, that to promote correct usages is to uphold the truth and respect the essence of civilization, and that to indulge errors is to encourage relativism, vulgar populism and literary simplification. Descriptionists believe that proper norms are mandatory rules, that language is an organic activity of human creativity, and that people should be free to write as they please.
