That whole "it's exhausting" thing and talking about stepping on people's feet.
Also I feel the need to point this out: My final thought on this is that people don't get hurt and offended over language because it's fun for them or because they're being stubborn about seeing the language evolve. They get hurt because they've been hurt by that word in the past. Period.
...which doesn't happen with outdated definitions. Unless you're dealing with REALLY OLD people, or the word changed definition superquick (my previous example of "text", while valid, is, admittedly, unusual in its speed).
