Words have been misused since the beginning of time. We humans have a way of making things up as we go. Call it innovation! Some words that begin as slang become a household name and are eventually added to the dictionary.
For example, conversate is a common slang word. Merriam-Webster's dictionary discovered a citation from the year 1811 where conversate was used. Archibald Loudon wrote, "Elizabeth and her children were once more favored with the agreeable opportunity of seeing and conversating with her ancient mother." In 2016, the Oxford English Dictionary added conversate as an official word. Drop this knowledge the next time someone argues with you as to whether or not conversate is a word.
