I do agree with you about grammar evolving too quickly. But I'm glad for some changes, for instance, being able to end a sentence with a preposition--in some cases, such as, "Where did you come from?"

My son (also a grammar aficionado) loves this work-around... "Where did you come from?" "Don't end a sentence with a preposition!" "Okay, where did you come from, b**ch?"
Oh your son, I love...
it's enjoyable to manipulate the words so as to satisfy the preposition rule, as in:
"That is more than up with which I will put"...
