No. I'm saying it's fine for people to stick to the usage they prefer, which may organically bring about a change, but there's no need to be critical of other people for using what is a commonly understood usage.

Well in that case, you're wrong. There is a need, and it's to have words for meanings. Language is a commons, and we all get to discuss how it's used.

You misread what I wrote. I'm not talking about words having meanings. I'm talking about having words for meanings.
