Jn.3:8 PNEUMA, PNEI, FONHN

John 3:8 is commonly translated
"The wind blows where it wills and the sound of it you hear ..."
But it is commonly commented that the passage should read,
"The Spirit breaths where it wills and the voice of it you hear..."
The commentators provide justification for the latter. What defence can be
given for the common translation? and What translation began to make this
distinction?
