With Universal Editors

Language is an anonymous, collective and unconscious art; the result of the creativity of thousands of generations. -Edward Sapir, anthropologist and linguist (1884-1939)

-I just really hope i haven't put one about a language or words recently because you'll start to hate me. Really hate me.

Ah Linguistics

If a creation of yours were talked of as "Awful, pompous and artificial" a long time ago (don't press me for dates), it would have been a nice compliment indeed!
-The etymology of the terms accounts for the change in meanings from "awe-inspiring, magnificent/splendid and made with art/skill" [respectively] to what they are today.

Etymology. Uhuh

Time changes all things: there is no reason why language should escape this universal law.
-Ferdinand de Saussure, i wish i could say i came up with this .... but that would just be lying.
