I think it's too bad that the Guidestar summary says:

The American Dialect Society is an association of scholars and others
interested in studying the English language in North America, past and
present.

whereas the ADS site adds:
- and of other languages, or dialects of other languages, influencing it or
influenced by it.


It's probably that way because of a word limit, but I think it makes us sound
like guardians of English.
