What would Ancient Greeks say?

“Meaningless linguistic transformations” is the normal and only way languages exist. Only dead languages do not experience transformations.
Believe me if ancient Greeks lived know they would be so dissapointed with us.
We modern Greeks raped our language more than anyone.
But my general view, is that we shouldn't change so much words deriving from other languages.
For example so many Russian names when they are translated in Greek they do not even look like the original russian.
This is also unacceptable.
Everyone should respect the language of origin!
