Oh I see that's addressed to all of us now.
In fairness, I never quoted Wikipedia. I don't have to.
Yes, an arbitrary definition being accepted at large and supported in a context where corporate dialogues influence the general dialogue does in fact define the word being used. It's used that way, so it means that. That's all there is.
When we speak to each other we make certain concessions about the language that we use, certain implied agreements that we are using words in identical contexts with identical meanings. When you deviate from this point you are not speaking the same language as the other person, even if the difference between your languages is only the usage of that one word (it never is - everyone speaks different languages, and our brains just translate as best they can because our languages are so closely related in English).
Welcome to the world of linguistics. Enjoy your complimentary mint.
You can't check out of this hotel.
