Conclusion: Therefore, the use of "neat" as a general term of approval is incorrect and should be discouraged.
(A) The original meaning of an English word is the only correct meaning to use.- Negation breaks the the conclusion.
(B) The term "neat" has been in the English language for many centuries.- Even if it hasn't been, conclusion still holds true on negation.
(C) The use of "neat" as a general term of approval is a recent innovation in English.- Recent or not, conclusion isn't affected with this.
(D) Speakers of colloquial English are not obligated to speak correctly.- It is about the overall use- scope
(E) The term "neat" has changed its meaning only once in the history of English- Not about change in meaning- scope
