This is a video from Ted Talks where Erin Mckean explains why we should be making up new words and not just sticking to words which already exist. She explains the six ways to create new words to "make language better at expressing what we mean." She explains that the reason we don't make up words, and why people don't like new words, can be due to grammar, when grammar actually has two different meanings. So as a matter of fact, it is a lot better if we make up words instead of 'borrowing' them from other countries.
