". . . you are trying to say it only means what you want it to mean."
Not any more than you are, Ron.
By the way, I rescind my surrender. I don't have time to pursue it now (getting late here), but, dictionaries reflect common usage, and common usage is often quite imprecise. Unacceptable to specialists within a particular field. So dictionary definitions notwithstanding, I have several more points to make that I think will put the current trend into perspective.
Not that you will necessarily agree, but that's the way it goes. I will put it out for others to consider.
