"While language and word meanings do change over time, the essential factor is that a majority must agree on meanings or language becomes useless as a means of communicating ideas."
I don't want to live in a Humpty-Dumpty world where, as he said, "When I use a word,it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
I see. My mistake. Still, there’s always the case when a word or phrase is used in a new way for the first time. Shakespeare was famous for that.
