Yeah Bud, we all have different definitions for words in our heads that are based on our individual understanding and experience of reality - we have things like dictionaries to establish an agreed upon definition but few people actually know those definitions, they just have a functional understanding of what words mean.
We just pretend we all actually are operating with the Merriam-Webster definitions bc it's easier.
Words are just to convey ideas - if you can pickup what someone means contextually but you choose to ignore that and focus on incorrect word use, you've missed the point of communication
