Because language evolves and isn’t prescriptivist. Especially in the US where a Founding Father wrote a dictionary to explicitly reject strict prescriptivism(it was still prescriptivist in ways but better than contemporaries).
I’ve taken to staying away from “all” just to try and isolate myself from the madness that those people are involved in. What an absolute acid trip of a country.
Where is the “hide all americans” button?
Especially US politics. I couldn’t care less.
Or as some Americans say, “I could care less”
It’d take effort to care any less than I currently do. And I don’t care enough to reduce my interest any further.
For any passing Americans who are thinking “what’s the difference?”, please take 3 minutes to find out.
The purpose of language is to communicate, if it is understood by the target audience it is correct.

This is not an example of evolution, this is just a widespread error.
The target understands it, therefore it is correct language

Yeah. It is about why Americans say it- so it is relevant to American history?
