Think of accepting misused exponentiallys, decimateds, literallys, etc., as obedience to Postel's Law: Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send. Stretch your brain to comprehend around malapropisms while striving to avoid them yourself.
Of course if one of the things that you comprehend is that the speaker is not well spoken there's no need to discard that datum.
