Languages change and evolve over time, but forced change to impose correct thinking and make “wrongthink” impossible, as the novel “1984” demonstrates acutely with Newspeak and its evolving—and limiting—totalitarian control of words is very real and is being documented in real time as words are revised to suit the woke agenda and ideology.
