'Twas I, a petty dweller in the House of Ransom. No need to apologise: I should have known better than to be so brutally derisive of any idea, although I'm about to do it again about something else.

It's sad in one respect to see a language change, but in another way, it's a good thing because a language that doesn't change is a dead language and so are its people.

Although you're right, watching the evolution take place isn't pleasant at all. It's very sad to see language changes deriving from common misconceptions about the meanings of words: some group of cretinous, third-rate television journalists show off their dreadful pidgin English and suddenly most people are getting it wrong, at which point the inaccuracy becomes correct (note the acceptance of "safe haven"). If that's life, give me linguistic death* any day.
