I understand and appreciate that the english language is not a static language. The particular item I am attempting to address in this thread is the manner in which words change meaning. Specifically where it appears that someone is attempting to 'latch' onto a word of phrase that has longstanding positive connentations in order to lend more credence to their own position in other peoples minds, but in the process ends up doing more to change the way the word or phrase is perceived.

Anyway, I'll let this simmer for a while and see if my meaning does get through despite how easy it can be misunderstood. Probably due to my presentation, but I have attempted to clarify.
