The evolution of language has never not been a thing. Part of having a civil discourse is keeping up with evolving societal definitions.
Maybe technology is speeding that evolution, given the rate at which we're able to converse, you could convince me it's more difficult to keep up with the evolution today than it has historically been.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agotenpoundhammer isn't talking about the normal evolution of language, but rather about people trying to change the definitions of words to make their positions seem more reasonable/acceptable. That also is not a new thing, but it's different from "the evolution of language".
