ownership .... what a concept!
“n. 1) any article, object, asset or property which one owns,
occupies, holds or has under control. 2) the act of owning, occupying,
holding or having under control an article, object, asset or property.
"Constructive possession" involves property which is not immediately
held, but which one has the right to hold and the means to get (such
as a key to a storeroom or safe deposit box). "Criminal possession" is
the holding of property which it is illegal to possess such as
controlled narcotics, stolen goods or liquor by a juvenile. The old
adage "possession is nine-tenths of the law" is a rule of force and
not of law, since ownership requires the right to possess as well as
actual or constructive possession.”
"conflicts of ownership rights"

Another great question....I am not really sure....and I suppose, on occasion, I must admit, I have been guilty of correcting grammar here and there. But I see nothing wrong with inventing new words from time to time....nothing at all! And by the way....after tonight, I think I may have to go away and read a few more cookbooks! LOL

Both England and the USA have their own versions of the English language.
So there's no clear-cut ownership of it. It's a huge language and there are a number of conflicting opinions about this issue.
But rest assured, you know English very well. You have no mistakes in your question at all, unlike the last dozen questions I've read. OK, good luck

People are propriatary, so whatever language we speak we tend to say we own. Besides I only let people use MY language for a fee, so pay up. LOL

I think the Queen does. And who knows why so many think the way they do. People are weird.

Anyone that can speak it in a way we can comprehend. Of course, I don't even recognize anyone's right to exist who spell things alternately, like boi (oh, how I cringe).
