I was thinking about words...

        I understand that it may be difficult to believe that I have the ability to think but occasionally I do. I am considering why some words don’t seem to follow the same rules.
Example;
·  Slow                Slower             Slowest           Slowly             Slowing
·  Fast                 Faster              Fastest             - - - - -              Fasting
 
Who decides how words are used?
Why isn’t “Fastly” a recognized word?
 
Why does the word slowing mean “to reduce speed”, while the word fasting mean, “to not eat for a period of time?”  
 
I hope you have the best day of your life today.
