"Standard" is one of those words that can mean different things. Insisting on one absolute definition and calling anyone who uses another definition "disingenuous" is not hugely constructive.

Are you saying there is not only one "standard" use of the word "standard"?

> Insisting on one absolute definition and calling anyone who uses another definition "disingenuous" is not hugely constructive. Nobody said anything about an absolute definition. When describing the C standard library, the only reasonable interpretation of "nonstandard" is that it does not adhere to standard C. There are no counter-examples anyone has been able to provide from any corpus.
