So in order to get a ‘one up’ on the person you disagree with, you’re purposefully misreading a definition and insist the simpler definition is more correct because… you think it says something different?
You didn’t provide any definition when you made the first claim, there was no definition to misread. The meaning used by the vast majority of people ever is the default expected reading - which you did actually expect readers to use as well, since it would help in underscoring your ridiculous criticism. If you added the new (and vague and untestable and not used in many other countries) definition immediately in the initial comment, it would dampen the dramatic effect.

I fear you might be a part of the problem.
