If you never break the language by being playful, the language will stagnate.

Human communication works better when people can creatively express themselves, regardless if is "correct".

My opinion is that language can and does regress sometimes, or more specifically put, sometimes it gets harder to parse and determine meanings due to changes in common usage, irrespective of how it's creatively expressed.

I think the lesson from that is to understand that the phenomenon is relentless and inescapable because it's inherently a biological adaptation. It's a fool's errand to attempt to uphold linguistic purity, and thus, it isn't a terribly important hill to die on, so to speak.
