I’m into the English language changing with the times — it’s one of the most interesting aspects of English. But whenever I see a reference to “fishers” in the media, and it happens a lot in a maritime region like Puget Sound, I wonder if they’re talking about these little guys or people who harvest fish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_(

I can dig it. I've been wondering how in the world the word "plumbago" ever got to be the name of a blue flower --it didn't start out that way. The misuse of the word "momentarily" suddenly becoming common-usage definition isn't as mysterious.
