"The living language is like a cowpath: it is the creation of the cows
themselves, who, having created it, follow it or depart from it
according to their whims or their needs. From daily use, the path
undergoes change. A cow is under no obligation to stay in the narrow
path she helped make, following the contour of the land, but she often
profits by staying with it and she would be handicapped if she didn't
know where it was or where it led to."
