> The fact that Anglophone countries don't have language regulator bodies id mind-boggling.
Sure we do. It's the people, culture, elites, etc. It's survival of the fittest.
> Basically schools marking down your work for mistakes can't refer to anything as the source of truth other than "this private entity, sometimes in a foreign country, published a book that says so" or just "it's common knowledge".
You can't be serious. Don't want to get philosophical, but what is the source of 'truth'?
What should really be mindboggling to you is that more than 80% of the top 100 universities in the world are in the US alone. The majority of the rest are in UK, canada, etc. Almost all science, business, diplomacy, etc is done in the english language. Now that is mindboggling.
