There are some authorities for considering what is correct, as described at https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifications_orthographiques_du_fran%C3%A7ais_en_1990 (this covers France and some other French-speaking countries), and well-accepted dictionaries (Larousse, Robert) should also be accepted.
