That's interesting. I love discovering how words evolve or how words come about. The latest that used to drive me nuts is when I'd hear young people say 'conversate' and 'conversated' instead of converse and conversed or 'had a conversation'. Judge Judy would too and always correct litigants when they'd use them until one time she said, "Wonder why I'm not correcting misusing those words? Well, they've now been included in the dictionary." LOL!
