You’re pointing to a lot of words before the 2000s, I’m starting to believe words stopped evolving when I was born instead. Devolving, maybe, with something like “literally”

Anyway I don’t really care if the word is “only used in the US,” that’s where I live dude 😭 If I wanted to speak Japanese I’d speak Japanese. And I do indeed hate changing language and I am dogging my heals to make that stop changing

This isn’t really a “source” argument either tbh, I think we both gotta speak from the heart here

“You refuse to change words arbitrarily, yet you are using words that changed in the past, curious. Here is a screenshot of Wikipedia. I am very intelligent” is all I’m getting here from this.

Words changed in the past before we had things like dictionaries and shit, different times

(And the Soviet Union was dissolved like a decade before I was born so I don’t think it’s a “refuse to change” thing 😭)

Anytime I see “language is always evolving” it’s always to excuse someone using language wrong

Evolution is “god be with you” turning into goodbye, not redefining a word to fit your definition instead 😭
