It is not a question of understanding your point, I get it. However, you need to realize that there are some who feel that it is NOT degenerating - but there are those of us who do not feel that way.

We are not ALTERING terminology, the terminology has already been altered - and it has since people like Woody Guthrie and others started writing their own songs.

If you study words as well as folk traditions you will see how these changes come about, and I have great concern about trying to stop the evolution and the effect it has on the culture.
