I don't know where else to put this, and I imagine that this will create quite the stir, but I have to say what's on my mind.
I have yet to come across one word on here that, when used in today's context, doesn't make sense to me. I appreciate the old definitions, but that's what they are--old. Inherently, language was made for man, not man for language. Why should words not morph into another meaning? The whole point of language is to communicate; if a word comes to mean something other than its original meaning, it means that society is changing. That's a good thing.
