Languages evolve, but I don't think that misuses should be formalized as correct. It's already hard enough for speakers of some languages to understand English's capitalization system. I think that adding more exceptions makes learning the language more difficult to learn.

People frequently spell "I" with a lowercase letter, so why formally approve lowercase for "internet" but not for "i"?
