Don’t I deserve to be informed immediately when widely-accepted and long-held English word definitions take on drastic changes?

After all, it’s practically my life’s work, people!  Grrrrrr.

    That’s what happened when one gets ‘senile’; you start to feel ‘nice’ instead of ‘awful’.   I guess once your ‘senile’, having others tell you that word definitions have changes becomes ‘fantastic’.

     

    Back in my day, children used to feel ‘gay’ as they slipped on their ‘thongs’.    Now we have ‘trolls’ that go  ‘tweet’, ‘tweet’, ‘tweet’.

    And whose job is it to inform you? Those of us in the grammar police profession are supposed to stay on top of such developments so as to be more effective at enforcement.
