No, I'm not assuming that at all. You're assuming that I'm assuming, and you really shouldn't assume.
The fact that English transforms over time is irrelevant to this issue. I know it does, and I could give you several terms that are examples of this. However, right now the phrase I complained about is not grammatically correct. And that is the more acceptable way to judge this situation, rather than a guess about what the future might be due to misuse.
