I'm saying that the danger in doing this is that you've got a lot of ignorant people out there who easily forget what the original meanings of words are, such as anti-social, which ultimately waters down and degrades our language. Yes, i think it is stupid to change the meaning of a word in the dictionary just because people misuse it.
Are you suggesting that dictionaries should list something OTHER than the current accepted meanings, or did I manage to totally misparse what you meant?
