Changing Language - Think of words that have changed over time. For example, the sentence "She discriminates among her beaus" once meant "She is choosy about who she goes out with." Today, we might take the word "discriminate as a more negative meaning or hear the word "beau" and think it is a hair bow or bow on a package.
