From the Institute for Studies: Most people don't understand the things they say

9. I agree that language changes.

I'm not a grammarian or policing what anyone says. I generally find the changes amusing. I also make more than my share of mistakes.

I'm observing that there is a loss of meaning indicative of a lack of understanding when words or phrases are misused, particularly when they change to phrases that not only don't retain the original meaning, but also don't make much sense on their own.

Out of curiosity, is your dialect the Tidewater dialect that says "Bal'more" instead of "Baltimore" and "wooder" instead of "water"?
