i think if you think of the dictionary as the big list describing how words are actually being used recently instead of the big list defining how words should be used and this makes a lot more sense. does that weaken the meaning of the word 'definition?' a little bit but its high time it had its comeuppance, used way too literally imo... figuratively speaking, of course. we're not french, the language isnt set in stone.
