Confusing, misunderstanding and misusing a term is not evolving a languages in any way, and should be corrected. Some terms are practically impossible to define out of context... e.g. yuri, shounen ai as demographics make perfect sense, when one understands that they are referring to magazines' demographics. Same problem exists in localizations (not limited of course to anime) which many times corrupt the original work in order to appeal to a wider audience too unlearned and lazy that is practicing confusion, misunderstanding and misuse (e.g. hentai -> H -> ecchi that Totoum already brought up for an japanese contribution to the corruption of their own language).
