@ryanhoulihan @EmbraceBecoming I was astonished when I learned there's like a high council of the French language that accepts or rejects new words based on their perceived benefit or harm to the uhh Frenchness of French.
It's absurd and specifically limits the utility of language. A language that grows organically is one that's serving its speakers' purpose. A language being dictated to you from on high...well whose purpose is that serving?
