You’re wrong
I’m sorry
scientific terminology has changed through time. its not monolithic. New usages of words become common
The whole point of a scientific dictionary is to give the exact definition of a word.
I learned this in school when learning about relatable sources
@squid I’m not being rude but you’re wrong
Look it up
I promise you
What would even mean for a word to have "meaning" what does that look like?
The Webster dictionary does what you’re talking about
how is a "meaning" any different from just a common usage
There is common usage and there’s an exact definition
a ceritan grojup of words describing a defined thing
a physical or metaphysical objekt
All words in the Oxford English Dictionary have definitions
what is the "exact definition."
what about webster
depends on the word?
why did oxford get to be the arbiter of "exact definition'
i dont know that word
The Webster dictionary is not a scientific dictionary
all that I'm saying is that there's no one true authority
omg
smh
lmao
gg
rebel
which is why I think saying words have "usages" is more accurate than saying they have "meanings"
The Oxford English Dictionary is just one scientific dictionary that just so happens to be the most popular one
no
just no
just go wa
ok, but what if there's a disagreement with webster?
which is the "meaning"/
?
The Webster gets updated to the common usages of words
what about any other scientific dict
It can change
what about asghjapoguah
Why isn't it a sexual orientation
