Reply to There's a perception that you can't just invent a word, and yet hundreds of thousands of them have been invented by pufballcat
I think you are confused with the statement that we cannot invent things without a reference.
The very core of language and words is based on the concept of creating symbols as reference, putting those together and assign a generally accepted meaning to those symbols we now call "words ".
You can put any of the existing symbols together to create a word. All you need to do is get people to assign a collective meaning to it.

Money should not be a factor in that. If you are not actively working on being a nice human being then it does not matter if you are broke or a millionaire. Also, if you have earned your money in a fair way without leeching you have absolutely no added obligation to society.

So if you made money in any random way you deserve problems? What a shitty morals.

That would be even slower as you would have to write it down before it reaches the other with the speed of light.
