    It took me way too long to realize that all words and grammar were made up by some one at some point while they were being silly. Ever since then I came to the conclusion that people can speak however the fuck they want so long as I understand them.

      Pretty much. There is good sense in teaching a standard to ensure communication is possible, but language can and does evolve. We should allow the changes to happen and document them for future language nerds.
