Ever think about how some words have been hijacked by commercial interests along the information highway? Have wonderful, evocative words like "adobe," "acrobat," and "amazon," lost something as they've been co-opted by corporations? But then some words, like amazon, have multiple meanings--female warriors, river flowing from the Peruvian Andes,...--and have evolved nicely over the years.
I suppose Humpty Dumpty had it right.
