However I am sure you will agree that the language is living and growing. If we accept new words we must also accept new grammar, syntax etc.
For example it would appear that to split an infinitive is no longer the mortal sin it once were.
If general ignorance of grammar already set in place for such a conditional circumstance is considered growth, I would hate to see this living language hit puberty.
