So now we don't have a word anymore to describe something that we used to have a word. And we already had words to describe what the person above was.

The language has lost use.

Again, that's how language has worked for literally centuries, but I completely disagree with your conclusion. If you're not yet aware, some words, can have multiple meanings even with the same spelling.

Except due to the new usage one now has to basically define it to give it the correct context. It's lost its power to be used and immediately understood. If what you say is true, it cannot be used efficiently to why it was coined.

And pretending it's not suddenly being used because of Doctorow is naive.

My guy, you're fuming over a word. This isn't a healthy way to be.

Your ability to determine how another is feeling via words is lacking. I'm not fuming. I'm not even that angry. I just am having a discussion and you're responding like you're not even out of high school. Its just frustrating communication.
