I think you are more open-minded about this because Indian English is a charming variety in its own right haha

That's like being too conservative!
You should accept this transformation. Being a teacher, it's difficult, I can understand but you can't stop it.

Book Review | “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”

I would say Language should not be bound to grammatical rules!  It's a tradition. In modern times languages, especially English is changing a lot of its shape, we see a massive use of abbreviations and people are willing to defy more and more grammatical rules. It'll be very soon when you see an actual transformation in main stream books and media as well.
