I'll use the dictionary definition of words because I speak English.
The dictionary is not a science book or a mathematics book. It is a maliable [book] of reference written by a committee of egghead editors with their own biases, opinions, and agendas.
Entries in one dictionary sometimes differ from entries in another. Some dictionaries contain words the others do not. Which one do you go by in these cases? Too often, new entries reflect slang originating from the dumbest people among us so that the editors can be mentioned on the news once a year.
