"All of the Sudden?"

Isn't it just part of the natural evolution of language? People don't talk like they did 50 years ago. 100 years ago was even more different.

What is the correct usage? Asking for a friend.

“All of a sudden” is the typical phrase, not “all of the sudden.” ”Sudden” is an adjective and not really a noun and shouldn’t take “the,” I guess, in my quick and probably not accurate analysis of the situation. But if you think too hard about it neither phrase makes a lot of logical sense.

Why am I seeing this incorrect usage so often now?

I can't remember anyone making this mistake until about 3 years ago. Now it's all over the place?
idk... neither of those phrases make any sense gramatically.

'All of the sudden' or 'All of a sudden'?
