Is there something unintelligent about adding words to a language if they've become popular and broadly accepted enough? I heard about this addition from my english teacher, and I'll say the same thing I told him; "It's about time".

I'm not actually losing hope at all, I simply said it for humour. (Damn spellcheck says humour is incorrect. Silly Americanos )
