Irregardless, if a word shifts spelling or meaning like this and is generally understood, even if initially by mistake, than it becomes becomes another correct meaning too. Like, literally.
I will never stop being mad that "literally" got a new dictionary definition that's literally not literally
Words matter. Think about life before and after the dictionary definition change.

It was changed September 2011.
That's not 2016, or 2020, or 2008, or 2001, or even 2012. Which reality break are you talking about?
