I find language reactionaries more amusing

And there is a difference between language and grammar.

If things are plain wrong then that is not a good thing - but if new words or interpretations/definitions enter the lexicon then what's the problem?

How many words have only appeared in the last 50 years that we would assume have been around for ever? Loads I reckon (I'm winging it now).
