Because of the nature of languages that are constantly being used, words are created and changed, according to need or desire by the intelligent beings that speak them, thus the guided process. U.S. English also has included words from other languages due to the mixing of the people from many nations. As a word becomes more commonly used by the people it i ...[text shortened]... aluminum, which they pronounce differently because of the different break down of the syllables.
"words are created and changed, according to need or desire" sounds like evolution
There is no guided process.

I understand that the word "evolve" came from a latin word meaning to unroll something that was rolled up, especially a scroll or book. It was then given different meanings, by intelligent beings, like many other words and often just means something that has changed in todays usage. That is the way I used it in referring to the language.
The evilutionists use the word that way too, but also have additional meanings that are not factual. So men have changed over time, but they have not evolved in the extreme way that evilutionists use the word.

Language evolves by a process of natural selection - there is no governing body,
nobody controls it (the French tried but failed). Nobody can predict the English
of the future - there is no way at all you can justify your assertion that it has
been consciously planned. (Guided process as you say)

realising your own stupidity you come back with
"You can't prove it isn't either"
Normal people have a reason behind what they say and can support what they believe.
You have nothing.

I know you atheists do not understand intelligent design. That is why you rely on science fiction, like the theory of evilution.
