meteorites don't blaze through the sky

Meteorites are rocks that have blazed through the sky in the past.

Could somebody please get clear on this before I have pulled out all my hair? I stifle myself on this stuff most of the time. Not a day goes by that the egregious misusage and blatantly ungrammatical utterances flying around do not threaten to boil my water, but I take them as cues to breathe more deeply and try to press on. But this is just getting too far out of hand. I'm getting more serious by the day that I belong in a remote mountain cave.

Seriously. I'm so not a prude about startlingly odd usage, and I know how people mangle the language when in the uncomfortable environment of some sort of recording device. Really. I'm not heartless about this.

You're just driving me quite nearly all the way 'round the bend now. Pull yourselves together.
