Have you considered that, much in the same way currency depends that two parties agree it is real, that words require two parties to agree on definitions to communicate?

It really seems like you are just picking out words where the Merriam Webster definitions contradict common parlance. Are you just really passionate about definitions?

I used the term correctly and helped the other user understand my meaning.

to be clear, I've been right the whole time.

You didnt answer any of my points, care to re-read and respond? Do you get frustrated when new words are added to the dictionary? How about silly ones like literally now meaning the opposite?
