The same distortion of meaning (the one in the post to which you're replying) happened in my language as well. Nowadays people don't know the words illusionism or prestidigitation, so they say magic instead. It can lead to misunderstandings. Once someone told me I should learn magic, I replied I couldn't because I'm a Christian and according to the Bible God abhors it. That person meant illusionism as a passtime, I understood infernal activity. Two languages, two worlds
To be fair,
all language is distortion of meaning over time. If you look at the version of any modern language compared to how the language was even in
A.D. 1000,
* you will see massive changes in meaning as well as spelling. Even just with slang, there are major distortions in word usage. It is what it is, but to pretend the dev has misused a word that, in fact,
can be used in the way that's criticized is just policing language. Instead of immediately calling it out, FookU2 should have confirmed their assumption. Not to mention,
most words in English have multiple meanings: a nose
runs just as much as a person does, for instance.
*C.E. for those who clutch their pearls at the use of A.D.
