The usage, however historically incorrect it may be, is now easily understood by most most. That&#039;s how living languages operate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Decrying the decline of things to the lowest level from the use of a single word or insisting on correcting other people&#039;s grammar is needlessly po-faced and pedantic.
