You don’t know much about the media, academia, and the publishing industry, do you, “dude”?

Have you looked up Merriam Webster definitions of words such as “fascist” or “homophobe” or “socialist” or “environmentalist”?

Right, I didn’t think so.

Get back to me with your analysis, if you are capable of analysis.

And you clearly don’t know anything about reality.

Languages evolve, this is a simple truth that has nothing to do with media, academia or publishing.

Nobody says “thee” or “thou” anymore
“Ain’t” IS a word
“Whom” is dead
“Humbug” used to be a dirty word
“Blogosphere” went from not a word to changing a presidential election in 4 years
contractions go in and out of vogue

These are all examples of our language evolving. Whether you’re smart enough to believe it or not.

There is no postmodernist conspiracy to make languages evolve, it happens, and anybody who thinks otherwise is a bleeding idiot. Bye now. No more of your moronic replies will be read, you are beneath contempt and a complete waste of time and bytes.
