Warning - rant approaching...
Due to the general degradation of language (lower educational standards, fewer writing classes, spreading bad usage quickly via the Web), people no longer make accurate distinctions. It's the same lack of attention to accuracy and detail that allows people to confuse "flout" and "flaunt", or "less" and "fewer", or even forget the distinction between nominative and indicative cases (e.g. "talk to he and I about it" [whimper])
