Hmmmm, did not notice that part, but just for the record, I have been using it as far back as I can remember, and up till now, no one pointed out to me that it was wrong.
One of the quirky things about the English language is that it is constantly evolving. Even the person you quoted seems resigned to the fact that the word is going to be standard usage.
Besides, it sounds nice.
If anybody wishes to discuss this further, PM me or start a thread in General Discussions.
