The Académie thinks you should say “joueur-animateur en direct” instead of “streamer” or I guess “stremur” which literally no one does, so if an Académie prescribes a language but no one follows the rules, does it make a language?
Yes, that’s precisely my point. The language is a living being, and any authority pretending to rule over it is just smoke; word will be spoken, meanings will be given. Literally like the words “literally”, which now has a double meaning due to common (mis?)use.
