Is there some specific threshold or condition set for ‘naturally’?
Is the first person doing it not ‘natural’, and then it… becomes natural, once … more people are doing it?
A trend… typically has to start with someone, or some number of someones.
Lingo, music, art styles, etc typically develop in subcultures and can then later sort of escape into broader culture, albeit usually with some bastardization or reinterpretation.
Why couldn’t you just view ‘bring back a couple characters from Old/Middle English into Modern English’ as a subculture?
Every other element of culture goes through waves of or has movements that are basically nostalgic, retro, remixed.
I mean, this person is bringing it back.
