    That explains why the ten thousand years of recorded history is filled with random violence and wars, but the point that I’m making is that things like Dictionaries and Encyclopedias and other written records should decide what is correct. They do indeed adapt over time when they have deemed things have sufficiently changed to update the definitions.

    Just like how scientists decide what is science, historians decide what is history, so too should linguists decide what is proper use of a specific language.
