Words are breathing things
They just change and they evolve just like the living. A word can mean something in it's earlier stages and then change what it means over time. It can change who it sides with or who it is.
Text. This blog is comprised of text, but I wrote it down. Text is also a verb, both are equally write. And yet, the word could change again. At some point, texting could just mean writing. Like I am texting this text. This phenomenon is called shifting
What I was trying to say though is just that words change. And the prescribe one set meaning to anything is to take away from the capacity for a change to occur. Just like you would never force someone to wear clothes that once for, you should give words breathing room.
