Another way to describe my bandanna/bandana adventure - although the former has always been correct, enough people have started using the latter, intentionally or otherwise, that now both spellings are seen as acceptable. This sounds like a load of nonsense to me. If everyone starts misspelling a certain word, we excuse it as becoming 'more common'? Next week, if everyone tells me the new word for sun is son, I have to call it son? I'm not ready to be a father; I'd rather move someplace that doesn't get The S*n.
It's like the kids who argued with the teacher until their test scores were increased; it was easier to appease the students than convince them to become better scholars. I can imagine their updated arguments; I guess it's possible corona is transmitted via the chin? No wonder we're struggling so much with getting everyone to wear a mask.
