Language definitely changes over time. If language were static, we wouldn't know what to do with all the new technology, because a static language isn't open to new words and new meanings. The people who write dictionaries don't determine the rules, they only describe them. English adopts words from other languages all the time... as well as expanding every time someone manages to popularize a new slang term. ... If you ever want to see some of the newest, try urbandictionary.com. They are behind, just like every dictionary... but they change more quickly because the site is open for anyone to submit a word. If they research and determine that more than a few people are saying it, the meaning is recorded.

Language changes over time due to various factors such as cultural shifts, technological advancements, and contact with other languages. These changes can include new words being added, meanings shifting, and grammar rules evolving. However, certain aspects of a language can remain stable over long periods, especially in written forms or in more isolated communities.
