…that’s what you just did. I don’t really care about dictionaries.Arbitrary???
LOL.
The way you and others arbitrarily redefine words to your personal liking IS arbitrary. WHERE in the Fing world do you come to be a language expert to say "From now and ever after, this word now means THAT."
In my world, the language is English, and I think most language experts might agree that a commonly accepted dictionary decides what the words mean so that people can communicate, not some populist web site which can change as we speak.
Just try arguing in court to a judge that the cop didn't catch you speeding, because YOUR definition of speeding is different. "But everyone KNOWS that it's not really speeding unless it more than ten miles over the limit! I was only doing nine over the limit!"
LOL. The JUDGE would slam this gavel, saying "Guilty! Pay the fine!"
