I never said it was a matter of opinion, 2006. Isn't that what you are expressing, an opinion of how you want language to be? Language doesn't conform to opinions, it never has and it never will. It can't.
Can you imagine the muddle language would be if we tried to conform to all the silly prescriptions that have been touted as rules over the years.
In actuality, it's simply a matter of language fact. Nonstandard does not equal incorrect. It simply means that it doesn't match Standard English.
