We are in danger of accepting the 're-meaning' of words to make us feel happy with what we are doing. The monk that sat down for years and wrote and illustrated the Book of Kells 'created' something. Pick any author and they 'created' something when they wrote a book. The printers later manufactured copies of that creation - they did not created.
Basically, I want to fight a system that renames the "Personel Dept" to "Human Fucking Resources"!!!
Do not allow the adulteration of our language to meet the needs of the powers that be. Words should retain their original meaning and purpose and we should not accept any change in that meaning. If you want to say something else then invent a new word, but don't try and glorify something by using a word with a more significant true meaning.
