The process of changing a word's meaning has to be organic and can't really be manufactured: society as a whole has to change how they see the word. I think this is the challenge of movements to "reclaim" words. A word has to be reclaimed by most of society--most of society has to change its mind, that is--before a word can change its meaning. ]]> 2017-04-28 12:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/izzbett/hssfdgp1p33o/wish/168860410
