Who decides “proper” pronunciation?

[Q.Q.Switcheroo]

@wolfpup

We had a bit of an argument in another thread about the correct pronunciation of “February” that illustrates this principle.

For the record, that other thread:

Pronounciation: Is ‘fenta-nawl’ the new ‘new-cue-lur’?

was where I posted the the reply to which Dirtymartini responded in this one.
