Languages are in a constant state of change.
Not actually grammar but in line with your post Towncrafter and because I also consider myself a bit of a word nerd I was 'literally' shocked to learn today that the OED has extended the meaning of the word 'literally' to include its use for things that are not literally so but for emphasis http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition.../literally
That's interesting... I know people "literally" use the word for that purpose, but to see the definition changed in the dictionary is surprising.
The English language is a complicated language, I must say.
