Some of us are proscriptive and some of us are descriptive. I see this in language a lot. There are those who refuse to accept changes in expression, grammar, etc. and "go ballistic'' when it happens. They are the ones, you know them, who are always correcting your spelling and grammar. The French even have an institution whose job it is is to protect the Language which may very well kill it in the end as it will become obsolete without new words. I have a friend who gives me a lecture if I use the expression, "an acre of land" as the word land is redundant. Doesn't matter that that is what everyone says, they are wrong. You can't say anxious when you mean eager either as that is the wrong usage. These are the proscriptive ones. The descriptive ones, like me, merely describe what is happening to language or culture and really don't judge it all that much. Things change and I am interested in how they change what will be the consequences of that change in the long run. For example will English be watered down so much by all the new words coming in that it will morph into something else? Will it be made stronger because of it? We have more words than any other language, they borrow from us. One of our major exports is words.
