Jeez, Mrrzy — if you take an Ayn Randian view that a word should only mean one thing, you're gonna have to scrap pretty well all of Shakespeare and half the other good literature/songs/poems in the world.

If you want to rail against blatent misuses of words (such as my current pet peeve, the total disregard for the difference between "bring" and "take") I'll be right there with you. But imposing your understanding of a word as its only meaning sounds like a mug's game to me.....
