Yes, language evolves, a natural process which happens over an extended time period. What I am talking about is the online dictionary changing the definition of words a few hours from when someone used that word in a context where it does not fit, to make it fit that context. This has now happened a few times in the last year, did you miss that?
This is not language evolution but language revolution - or revolutionary language - and it is not a natural process.
