See, I could understand you just find despite you writing "If course", but if you try to say to me that is not a mistake simply because I could understand you, I cannot at all agree with your logic of what makes it the language "correct".

I never said it makes the language "correct", more that language is fluid and there's no need to correct people

Unless a typo or spelling mistake is so common it becomes widely used, it's fair to say it's just a mistake
