yes, that would certainly be true, but that's stealing an effect and calling it your own, while what Andrei supposedly( like, i know someone changed it, but who knows who? was it REALLY Andrei? can we really believe in De'vo?) did was changing how you use a word, that have been done time and time again, an example would be the word "gay", in the past, around 30 years ago, it was used to describe being happy, now you see what it means? another would be a Vietnamese word that now translates to "things related to finance", in the past it used to mean "to teach the people and thus saving the country" (there are probably more examples, i'm just not that good at literature), so is changing the meaning of a single word THAT big a problem? it's a language, it's bound to change, and since, like you said, 9000 people have already accepted it, there's no reason to go against those 9000 and keep to the old meaning, after all, "change is good"

"Gay" (Happy) and "Gay" (Homosexual) are two different words. There meanings haven't changed, they're just 2 different words. I'm not saying that a revolution should be started, just that a lot of people are being misinformed due to theory11 and Andre.
