Answer:

Everything in language is subject to change – its sounds, spellings, meanings, and usage. Some people resist such change, wishing that words would stay still. Because of the etymological fallacy, they may even reject standard usages that became established long ago, such as alternative, decimate, and dilemma.

Luckily, etymology is not the boss of meaning – we are. And there are many right ways of using most words. This makes things more complicated but also more interesting. Pedants may claim that language use is simple, or should be – but it’s simple only if you ignore many historical, cultural, social, and other factors.
