This is a very interesting take to me. So you think language should be policed by a self selected cabal of experts? While i might agree for something like specific scientific findings being held tight by a small group of experts, i think language at large is a much, much larger thing. Mainly because literally everyone (okay 99%) use it pretty much all day every day. Very very few of the antivaxers are studying and using epidemiology and virology all day every day, but everyone talks.

As such, language evolves local dialects and accents just due to the fact that there's far too many people to corral into one way of speaking. How do you feel about regional accents?

Finally, i am very thankful for the experts who make dictionaries and find the origins of words i find interesting. However i _strongly_ doubt it would be impossible to understand the English my father spoke when he was a little under my age. Chiefly because, he's literally still alive and speaking? It sounds insane to assert that 50 years is enough to change language enough to become unintelligible unless i had a "1975 dictionary" in which i could look up all the slang and terminology. Sure, kids talk funny, jeepers man, it's like totally rad sometimes though. Far out dude. Did you have to look up what far out meant when you first heard it? Or did you understand it from the context and tone with which it was said.

Good luck telling me I'm not intelligent enough to decide what I say bud, even better luck telling that to the kids. Get with it or be history my guy.
