RE: Manipulating the Meaning of Words to Manipulate the Mind and Behavior
I do remember way back when the internet first started. I read an article about how language is supposed to evolve and the internet will hurt this. Well years later even with spelling check, it has not stopped the evolution of words. But one good thing it did was to record the evolution of words.
Language can evolve, we can add new words. But there is no need to redefine words consultant. We should create words if we want to describe something that isn't yet being referenced with a word, not change it to add more confusion. Inverting meaning is just confusing, like urban subculture inverted sick as good, or other words.
