Because English is a living language so words in it can, and do, change meaning? And that dictionaries are usually pretty far behind on it [sometimes with good reason]?

Also, it doesn't help that most people have never heard of the other terms that can be used for it.

I was just about to write a comment like this. I agree, words change meaning all the time. Just because it was meant to describe a fic of exactly 100 words, doesn't mean that that's the only thing it can ever mean.

Personally, I just see it as a super short piece of fiction. I agree with whoever it was above that said 1K seems too long for a drabble, but if it's below, say, 500 words, then sure, call it a drabble. I'll know what you mean.

Tbh, I agree. It is a natural process.

But I cannot deny that I would probably not be inclined to like a person who calls anything but 100-word stories "drabbles" (given that would be the first fact about them I'd come to know). Just a personal preference, I suppose.

Each to their own, it just irritates the hell out of me when people insist that "THIS IS IT'S DEFINITION!" is the be all end all of the uses/meanings of a word.

Official dictionaries (like Oxford), are behind the forefront of language growth and change because they have to wait for new words and meanings to become old enough to be counted as being a stable part of the language that won't up and vanish in the latest trend.

That's why it took over 10 years for "LOL" to become officially part of the formal dictionary.

That's exactly why I said "Sometimes with good reason".
