The Webster dictionary does what you’re talking about

2020-08-23 23:52:05 UTC  

how is a "meaning" any different from just a common usage

2020-08-23 23:52:23 UTC  

There is common usage and there’s an exact definition

2020-08-23 23:52:24 UTC  

a ceritan grojup of words describing a defined thing

2020-08-23 23:52:33 UTC  

a physical or metaphysical objekt

2020-08-23 23:52:40 UTC  

All words in the Oxford English Dictionary have definitions

2020-08-23 23:52:46 UTC  

what is the "exact definition."

2020-08-23 23:52:50 UTC  

what about webster

2020-08-23 23:52:53 UTC  

depends on the word?

2020-08-23 23:53:01 UTC  

why did oxford get to be the arbiter of "exact definition'

2020-08-23 23:53:01 UTC  

i dont know that word

2020-08-23 23:53:16 UTC  

The Webster dictionary is not a scientific dictionary

2020-08-23 23:53:30 UTC  

all that I'm saying is that there's no one true authority

2020-08-23 23:53:44 UTC  

omg

2020-08-23 23:53:46 UTC  

smh

2020-08-23 23:53:48 UTC  

lmao

2020-08-23 23:53:50 UTC  

gg

2020-08-23 23:53:52 UTC  

rebel

2020-08-23 23:53:53 UTC  

which is why I think saying words have "usages" is more accurate than saying they have "meanings"

2020-08-23 23:54:13 UTC  

The Oxford English Dictionary is just one scientific dictionary that just so happens to be the most popular one

2020-08-23 23:54:14 UTC  

no

2020-08-23 23:54:17 UTC  

just no

2020-08-23 23:54:22 UTC  

just go wa

2020-08-23 23:54:30 UTC  

ok, but what if there's a disagreement with webster?

2020-08-23 23:54:38 UTC  

which is the "meaning"/

2020-08-23 23:54:39 UTC  

?

2020-08-23 23:54:52 UTC  

The Webster gets updated to the common usages of words

2020-08-23 23:54:52 UTC  

what about any other scientific dict

2020-08-23 23:54:54 UTC  

It can change

2020-08-23 23:55:02 UTC  

i dont know that word

2020-08-23 23:55:07 UTC  

what about asghjapoguah

2020-08-23 23:55:13 UTC  

Why isn't it a sexual orientation

2020-08-23 23:55:16 UTC  

curious

2020-08-23 23:55:16 UTC  

pedophiles think those dances are sexy

2020-08-23 23:55:26 UTC  

it is

2020-08-23 23:55:31 UTC  

I think we're agreeing but we're just struggling to agree on language

2020-08-23 23:55:39 UTC  

No

2020-08-23 23:55:42 UTC  

yes

2020-08-23 23:55:43 UTC  

yes

2020-08-23 23:55:51 UTC  

You don’t understand that there are different types of dictionaries

2020-08-23 23:56:00 UTC  

Just look it up
