Oh dear. The bastardization of the language continues. Next you will defend the creationists use of the word theory, because words mean what one wants them to.

Wait. You’re complaining of the bastardization of (American) English language? Really?

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary. — James Nicoll
