The meanings of words, and their connotations, do change over time. Some words have opposite meanings, depending on the context! I think they're called oxynyms or something like that. (Saw it on Jeopardy! once.)

Why do people deem it their job to correct spelling/usage/punctuation on the interwebz?

I really miss the days when people weren't so 'incapacitated' over the use of a word/phrase/spelling.

People that point out someone's error usually are way too blind to see their own shortcomings.
