During the past few years I have noticed many English speakers no longer use prepositions such as this case of "talking weather" rather than "talking about the weather".
Is this gramatically incorrect structure some new trendy thing like "policital correctness" or is it just laziness?

I have heard, "They are talking fish." and others before cell phones existed. So it is not new. - 00551866, Jul 2, 2013
