Worst conversations go: "You used this word so you think X!" "No, I don't." "Yes, you do! Its what the word means!" Utterly pointless.

Dictionary definitions should only be supplied to show people what you mean. Never to tell them what they mean.

Fair enough to say you think the way someone is using a word is not the way it is commonly understood & therefore likely to be misleading.

But nothing can be gained from 'This word *does* mean what I say it does and therefore you *do* mean what I'm accusing you of meaning."
