Words on the Move

The idea that language is always changing is fascinating, but I wonder what motivated the author to focus on this topic now. Was there a particular event or trend that sparked this exploration?

The stories behind words like 'nice' or 'silly' really brought the concepts to life, but I’m curious if others felt these examples made the evolution feel more tangible or abstract.

With social media and texting constantly shaping new slang and expressions, I wonder if the patterns in the book help explain these rapid shifts or if they’re a new phenomenon.
