   It's usually the young, the foolish, and / or the lazy who don't use   
   correct meanings and spellings ... but then since America is really only a   
   few hundred years old (in terms of speaking English), they are actually in   
   the first of those categories, at least. Maybe like most youngsters being   
   naughty, they simply need a good smacking.  ;-)
