Language is always changing. At one point ‘an apron’ was ‘a napron’ while words like ‘literally’ are no longer literally literal. What are some language battles that have been lost in living memory and what are some others you predict will soon occur?

Edit: Non-english examples very welcome!

    You know, I actually prefer that it be variable, but only when it serves a purpose.

    Like, if Im quoting someone “I might want to indicate that they completed a sentence.”, but also continue beyond it.
