Because no ones gonna hound you about it since the difference has fallen out of care ? It's like if someone told you a word was supposed to be spelled a certain way buy no ones spelled it that way in decades. It changes.
Idk it bothers me when I have to reread the same sentence 3 times because they used the wrong word and then I have to figure out how the pronouns are supposed to work with the word.
Well it's different if someone used an extra E vs someone messing up how words work
Like I had a friend say I had bad reading comprehension because he said " it was " instead of " there was " and it changed the entire topic at hand. That's annoying. Him using an extra E when talking about an engaged man isn't an issue though because fiance and fiancee have become different spellings rather than differenting genders
