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?

To me it's about aiding communication.
If you omit apostrophes, use homophones interchangeable and use words with different meanings as if they are synonymous then you're making the language less efficient. On the other hand, if you are verbing nouns, nouning verbs and adverbing both you are being creative and adding to the language.
