Ok, but it's worth understanding that there are two different concepts of "correct" here, with different people claiming that their camp is correct, for both camps. It's also worth remembering that human language is ambiguous. (Every dictionary has to grapple with this issue in some form or another. The Oxford dictionaries do the best job of representing this of any dictionary that I have seen.) Of course, there are also standards. The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. Luckily, this doesn't really matter, and people tend to put some effort into resolving the obvious ambiguities.
