Not to stir up your rant, but "fail" as a noun is not that new a part of our language's evolution. ("Without fail") Linguistically, the expanded current usage is on sound footing, and is not "misused." If you eliminate laziness as a basis for the evolution of language, we'd all sound like Chaucer still.
