They can hide behind the half of the population who are as WRONG WRONG IRRETRIEVABLY WRONG as them. *delicately dabs away spittle*

I'm a bit torn since I tend to go with the belief that you can't stop language from changing and the job of grammar and dictionaries is to describe, not dictate, and so on. I don't insist on "whom" all the time, for instance. But dammit, when you're talking about a significant difference that contains a change (or loss!) in meaning, I'm going to cling to the meaningful variant even in a losing battle. (It'd have to be losing a lot more severely than 60/40 before I gave up, too!)
