Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.

    Thing is, language is constantly changing, so if enough people say it wrong, it makes it correct over time.

    As an example, people have been using nauseous incorrectly for so long, that it’s now correct again.
