RE: It's a complete "Conspiracy". Have you noticed the recent change?

I fight back against their tactic of stealing lingual territory and repurposing it. I often refer to is as word hijacking and have written numerous word hijacking posts. I make it clear I do not recognize the authority of miscellaneous humans to redefine a word in a way that clearly is not a synonym for the original meaning. If they want to create a new word, fine, go for it. I will fight back when they try to steal existing words and turn them into weapons. I will not cede that lingual territory.
