I know that language changes and fighting the shift is pointless so when, in a meeting, someone says we need to evolve the strategy' I no longer shout 'oh really, do you mean "subject the strategy to a blind, aimless, millennia-long process of random mutation and adaptation" or do you mean "change it a bit"?'.
You see, I've grown.
I've just seen this sign outside a new pub near us though. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to resist tutting when I walk past this. That'll probably stem the tide and stop evolution starting to mean, slightly new version of.
