I don't have a problem with dictionaries documenting this travesty of language; their makers are merely doing their jobs. I am, however, angrily resentful of the fact that ignorant and barely literate people, often obnoxious simpletons hauled before TV cameras to share their ignorance with the nation, are able to dumb down the language by blurring and fuzzing the definitions of words in common usage. A related pet peeve is the ghastly aberration of saying "I could care less" to express the exact opposite. Is there some kind of sneaking Orwellism going on, where black becomes white and good is evil? Is it to do with the fact that TV has replaced the written word, and the Internet lets the illiterate publish to vast audiences without the benefit of a competent editor? I am (literally) literally enraged about this.
