Judging by how recent editions of dictionaries are rapidly changing, adding
in tons of new words and slang, it would seem that vox populi is the master.
Some sources are even changing the spelling of words, such as cord, as in
"vocal cord" to chord, because that is what people say they think of when
they hear the word!
I wonder when Buddha will end up being spelled Booda.
