Language evolves; we can't live in the 1950s forever.
This x 100.English is a living language (although that phrase will upset people, screw it). It will change over time. However the brilliant thing about English is how fault tolerant it is. Ultimately it is this fault tolerance that lead to it being adopted by so many other nations.

"to be honest" when they mean "to be frank" or "to be blunt". So you were lying the rest of the time?
