Because its English. There is no such thing as "misuse". Words mean what readers and writers think they mean. Its a communication medium, not an exercise in bureaucracy.
- nhayden 12y agoI don't get why people defend incorrect language usage but wouldn't defend terrible misspellings, like "definitely" as "defiantly". They're both equally "wrong" but one is acceptable and one isn't. I agree that language is an evolution and there is no "wrong", but that doesn't stop people from looking stupid by trying write intelligently and falling on their faces.
