Well, you could continually mourn the demise of 'correct' English, or you could just celebrate that language is alive and therefore evolving -unlike poor dead Latin.
But I admit I have my hates.
Incorrect pronunciation - such as 'mis-cheev-eus' for mischievous, 'nucular' for nuclear; and bad spelling - 'avacado' for avocado.
Irritating at the best of times and downright criminal in the media!
