Seems like at some point in the 20th century things changed with people now saying "leave me alone" instead of "let me alone".
I'm struggling to find any information on how and when this happened. --- p-m ... Copied to Clipboard!

When they realized it was wrong, and "leave" was correct.

But that's not how the expressions are used anymore. I don't know why "Let me alone" faded out of usage. --- ___ Sari, Mom to DS (07/04) and DD (01/08); Pronouns: she/her/hers ...
