Because people use it, and if you say it everybody will understand without any ambiguity.

Then the meme is formatted incorrectly. Or "correctly", if we define correct as "incorrect, but, you get it, so..."

Except, usage defines language. If it didn't, English wouldn't exist. Therefore, usage is correct when people understand and use it.
