The real problem with these terms - if there can be said to be a real problem - is that they give the appearance of there being a naturalistic process by which the English language evolves a great deal of flowery diversity. One assumes that, because there are all these apparently used terms, there must be a reason of sorts as to why they evolved.

But there isn’t. They’re just silly things people made up for the purpose of making them up and having funny names for things.




How is that a problem, even if true?
