Supermarket responds after Reddit user’s warning about self-checkout overcharge — ‘Was annoyed that the total amount due on my supermarket purchase did not equate to the individual items I purchased.’::‘Was annoyed that the amount due on my Woolies purchase did not equate to the individual items I purchased.’
Languageisfluid isacommon excusefor people whoare justwrong.
Except language is demonstrably fluid, meanwhile it seems like your grasping of prescriptive pedantry is coincidentally just a lazy reason to try and be correct when everyone knew what “instore” meant.
Do you say “God be with you” when departing, or just goodbye?
Of course it is. That doesn’t mean every missing or grammatical mistake is an example of language evolving. Usually it’s just carelessness or ignorance.
Carelessness or ignorance, believe it or not, evolve language. Have you heard of compound words?

What I’m making a stand against is the position that there’s no such thing as bad grammar because it’s all just language evolution.
