Language lives with us and changes no less often than, for example, fashion, with words coming in and out of vogue.

“On the other hand, we stop accepting new words in the language where we feel comfortable, and if someone considers, for example, the words ‘cool’ and ‘okey-dokey’ to be outdated, then this is not at all a problem for people who actively use them in their speech.
