As a developer working at a media company, I often see us run articles with terribly misused phrases (like how one sports team will "route" another). I try to point out these issues when I see them but ultimately I think it won't matter - eventually there will be more people who think the incorrect version is correct and at that point it will in fact be the correct version based on common usage.
