Language is fluid, never fixed. Notice how we don’t speak Anglo Saxon any longer. 🤷

I am more concerned about other butchering of the English language, especially coming out of the government.

It's no longer a request, it is an "ask". No longer a budget, it's a "spend". No longer a tax, it's an "investment".

One of the weirdest things is, "I did it on accident ", and no longer "on purpose" or "by accident".

While we're at it, when did we start saying things like "It needs fixed", and no longer "it needs to be fixed"?
