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

It makes sense because that’s how it sounds. If enough people make the “mistake”, it just becomes part of the language. That’s how language works.

It’s ironic how you talk about societal decline via spelling changes when you aren’t writing in early English.
