This is part of what's trying for me to take language studies seriously. Giving credence, and noting common MISusages directly in the dictionary is going to be interpreted as "yes this is correct" when it isn't. "Language evolves, get over it." Okay, then accept evolution doesn't always get it right, and shed the bullshit. Start calling people out who misuse words. Hyperbole is a literary device that can be used anywhere, not just on words like 'literally'. I realize I'm preaching to the choir but it's irritating. I can't take dictionaries or lexicographers seriously. They just report what's popular. Useless for actually studying words.
