Luke Mosher :
I’m inclined to agree but does this mean we shouldn’t “enforce” grammatical rules? Would that lead to language barriers? Or is there some middleground

If conversate wasn’t a word, then how do we have conversation?

I wouldn't use it because I don't know how. Like, what distinguishes it from converse?

Many people assume dictionaries are prescriptive, when they are in fact descriptive. It's just cataloging how people use words, not telling them how.
