Unbeknownst to me that meaning changed to include that it 'prescribes' how words should be used -etc, etc.
Part of me wonders how sarcastic this is intended and the other part wants to add that - to define meaning and pronunciation usually requires a context of usage and vice-versa... I'm not about to guess which part is which.
What a beautiful , living , breathing language that allows us to even poke fun at it while we continue to grapple with its rudiments. Just tried to be Musca Domestica in the ointment...
