"Fake News" entered the realm (not even recently, might I add) of popular misuse. Actually, is there a term for: language/grammar incorrectly used because society has developed a familiar "meme" use?
Common examples:
* Look at this dank "meme".
meme has come to mean "a picture shared on the internet that has words on it".
* Let's [have a] "cheers".
It's a toast. You say "cheers" when you toast.
* You missed Suzie and I's party last night.
It's Suzie and my party. This one is particularly annoying because it's made it way past editors and into writing, screenplay, etc.
