Common usage in language, even though 'wrong', often persists and eventually becomes 'acceptable', and recognised as so in the very publication of new dictionaries. English usage just evolves and people can understand.
I am no longer irritated by hearing a reference to the "45 Long Colt" for the correct term "45 Colt" ... I am sometimes more irritated by hearing someone sternly correcting the misusage of the term ... ... Peace.
I have become SO liberal, that I don't even mind hearing the term "CLIP!" instead of "MAGAZINE!"
