But just like the river analogy, just because it's prone to change doesn't mean a every change is inevitable.

With enough effort you can divert a river, or stop it flowing at all with a dam. Likewise if enough people look at a chaneg to language and decide "no that's dumb and I'm not doing it", then the change doesn't happen.

Otherwise I could tell you that gnark is now the word for you as an individual, and you'd have no way to tell me that I'm wrong.

If enough people are willing to actively resist the change then the change won't stick. There's nothing magic about the new thing that makes it inevitable.
