A living language changes and grows, in all sorts of ways, and sometimes on purpose. Look up the history of the word quiz. It'll quiz you, to be sure!
King Canute and the tide, pedants and word usage.
But, yes, it sounds weird. It's an insta thing. And it's changed the language.

Or is it the Herald not knowing/caring? #PedantsUnite

Performer: *sings kids' song about dinosaurs*
My 3.5-year old: *very happy*
Performer: *gets to part about pterodactyls"
3.5-yo, interrupting: "Excuse me. Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs. They are pterosaurs."
Me: *simultaneously embarrassed and irrationally proud*
