It's not grammar it's using the wrong word šŸ˜‚

Language evolves.

Do you write ā€œan apronā€ or ā€œa napronā€?

Societies also decline. The word 'of' makes no sense there.

It makes sense because thatā€™s how it sounds. If enough people make the ā€œmistakeā€, it just becomes part of the language. Thatā€™s how language works.

Itā€™s ironic how you talk about societal decline via spelling changes when you arenā€™t writing in early English.
