You first.

YOU made the initial claim about this "new" meaning, onus is therefore on you to substantiate it.

For my defense, I'll start with Elements of Style, the OECD, and any other English dictionary or grammar book.

Because if you really want to play "who has the best evidence for their case", you're gonna lose to several hundred years, and millions billions of written documents.

    So you'll point to a variety of different and conflicting sources?

    The English language naturally evolves over time. You getting butthurt about improving your communication style accomplishes nothing.
