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.
