    Any hurting of feelings spanning from not knowing what a word means is your own responsibility.

    I nor anyone else can be responsible for problems in your understanding of modern English. Not in the slightest.

    Simply, you have a misconception about the word, not an opinion.

    You are, of course, welcome to come with any arbitrary definitions for common words, but doing so will just make communication with others more difficult. Still doesn’t make them “linguistic opinions”. It’s language, which evolves constantly, whether you acknowledge the fact or not.
