"It is not defined by committees, or lexicographers, lawyers or even Jim Carroll."
Why oh why to people insist on reducing this to personal attacks - I didn't or don't make up my own definitions - I avail myself of the existing ones and pass them on to whoever might find them of use. If you have problems, argue with them not me.
The couple of current threads on definition have brought out the most unbelievable examples of manipulations of the languge I have ever come across - words mean what it suits them to mean.
Defensive responses such as Darryowen's really don't help.
No - dictionaries are not infallible, they are a guide to communication.
Ignore them and make it up as you go along means we all end up living in our own little bubbles and communication with nobody.
