Not that laissez-faire linguistics needs a patron or defender. Language will continue to evolve with or without you. I really just came in here to stir up some shit for my afternoon shit and so far I'd say mission successful.
Language changes though many mechanisms, including slang and assimilation of words from other languages. None of you here can stop that. The fact that you complain about it is probably going to make these words seem even more exotic to some people and may even accelerate this rate of change.

It's like you're all saying "I think it's terrible that natural selection determines that the most successful species thrive and survive! We have to do something to stop it!" Lol. Good luck with that.
