Exactly what I was thinking.
To really open your eyes to the changes the language has undergone, read some Shakespeare or Chaucer. Language which is in use evolves to suit the users. That is in part why you hear regional dialects. The process never stops until there is no longer anyone using the language.
In the meantime, it is as annoying as all get out to many of us.
