That's true

i doubt it. besides, it changes constantly. it's not as if there's a wave, then nothing, then another wave. the big change i see these days is that no one uses comparatives or superlatives anymore (except incorrectly). things are two times better instead of twice as good. soon we'll have more good instead of better. advertising is doing this; it's not a natural change, just as using adjectives as nouns is not natural but rather the result of advertising. advertising can control language pretty directly, quickly and deliberately.

Laws used to be written in Latin, a "dead" language. Laws which are written in English need to be interpreted without ambiguity. If you value the rule of law (maybe you don't), you will support a well-defined and consistent vocabulary. Nothing wrong with expanding the language, but changing the meaning of existing terms is ill-advised.
