up new words nor allow popular usage to become the norm.  To that, I say

Oh, I'm all in favor of new words in English.  English is uniquely  suited 
to
such because English dumped gender and a lot of other endings  centuries
ago.  Words are imported wholesale into English, and that is proper 
considering the status of English as the "lingua Franca".
 
I mourn the loss of the objective case in pronouns and the loss of
perfectly good adverbs.  I think the clarity of expression also  loses
in this.  Whatever I prefer in this matter doesn't matter, however,  and 
what
will be will be....and that is all right (not alright)  :-)
