We use words because they have meaning and we communicate ideas through them because we've built a shared understanding of that meaning.

If we abondon meaning, we're abandoning reason.

It's worth the fight.

We put an enormous amount of work into teaching the correct meaning every day to humans of every age and it is not wasted energy.

Don't shirk your duty to educate others.
