The word "nowadays"?

I see people using it this way all the time anymore (lol), and I just can't understand HOW it has come to mean something other than 'any longer' ... which is the only way it was ever used for the majority of my existence.

All I can suppose is that people no longer respect "The English Language" anymore.
