This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

I have an irrational hatred of people with an irrational hatred of the English language....
So what if people use the English language differently to you. Once you exit the world of Shakespeare and enter the realms of reality the English language becomes a bastard langauge. It accepts words from any other language with open arms. It has no pilot or controller as such. It is truly a world language. It has the most loosely laid down laws of any language I know. In Germany and France they devote actual tax money to people whose job it is to review the grammar rules and from time to time make amendments. One of the great things about the English language is that it is constantly evolving. It never stays the same. If you want language rules and grammar police perhaps you should investigate moving to another country where you could be safe in the knowledge that somewhere, someone is using your hard earned tax money to patrol the internet, newspapers,tv and books and make complaints on your behalf to make sure nothing of the articulations and derivations contained within the sanctity of your blessed words is soiled for further generations. C*NTS C*NTS C*NTS C*NTS.....

Phew...feel much better after that rant.

Fine
With the proviso that clarity of communication is the goal (unless you work in PR or government, in which case your a blob of cocksnot to begin with), so if you can't make yourself understood because you can't spell, parse or speak clearly when you need to, you're the idiot, not the poor fucker who's trying to get you to make a sensible point clearly.
