I agree that it's poor grammar and sounds like nails on a chalkboard. I don't like it either. I learned a long time ago that that i can't control other people. But I can control my reaction to others. I have enough problems of my own that I don't need to worry and fret about things I can't control.

I agree with the OP, and I find it sad. I love our language, and I believe that words have meaning. But, I also agree that it's a lost cause. I know many people who have horrendous grammar and pronunciation (and spelling), but I don't consider all of them to be stupid. I think they just don't care about it as much as I do. I hope to be long gone by the time this wave works itself into full-blown Orwellian double-speak.
I have always thought that the incorrect word "majorly" came from the phrase: "major league." IOW, that some people didn't know it was "major league," and substituted what they heard...ie, majorly. Does anyone know what I mean LOL??
"Incorrect grammar and pronunciation is a major league problem"...not, a "majorly" problem...? As in "it's a major problem," as opposed to "it's a minor problem????"
Sidebar: Yes, I know I have a nerve talking since I misuse the ellipsis, and I'll probably hit "submit" and THEN see a spelling error or an apostrophe where none should be...
or ending a sentence with a preposition...
somebody stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFLOL!!
