There is a famous play/movie that you may have seen called "My Fair Lady" and in it there is a whole song/plot about the fact that English speakers, unlike most nationalities, don't teach there children how to speak proper English. It isn't totally true but there is some truth to it. English is just a bastard language anyway, part German, part French, part Latin, part old dead languages from the Celts.

I think part of it is laziness and part of it is just the fact that there are so many dialects (as Rosalie said). I also think that once you are comfortable in a language it is easier to play with it. The reason english is really a wonderful language is you can mess with the rules and make it something completely different.
