I am almost 70 and I some of the time these days I wonder is this English evolving or is it just someone who can’t spell etc. It makes my brain hurt. To make it worse for me my mother was a British war bride who would only let me speak “The Queen’s English” and made me watch Jeopardy every lunch for about 8 yrs. Sound great? Nope, my mother never taught me the rules. Even though I sounded very smart and had a great command of the English language I could never correct anyone because they would say why and I could not cite the rules.
