To be fair, all words are made up. Their usage is what makes them relevant.

This is so well put. It should be engraved over the entrance to a library or public monument somewhere.

Or at least the linguistics department at the local community college.

Also every dictionary should have a disclaimer written on its cover with big, bold letters:

DICTIONARIES ARE DESCRIPTIVE, NOT PRESCRIPTIVE. THEY DOCUMENT HOW WORDS ARE COMMONLY USED, THEY DO NOT DEFINE THEIR MEANINGS.

Although this is not universally accepted. This old DFW essay on the topic is good reading.

I'm not sure if you are passing judgement but this is how language evolves.

I'm perfectly cromulent with that as well.

This feels ungrammatical to me. I think "I find it perfectly cromulent." feels more correct.

(I only comment because I'm amused to find I've heard "cromulent" used as a "real word" enough that my brain has intuited rules for its usage.)

You failed at trying to make yourself sound smart by using a fancy word.

Dictionaries are embiggened by new words.
