You can't really have a "mistake" unless there's an authoritative source and standard that everyone agrees to use.
Language evolves with use, and being really passionate about an idealized standard in your head doesn't somewhat materialize it as the "correct" way.

A specification has to be very precise in its wording, but that doesn't mean we all do all the time.
