It's really difficult to have a productive discussion with semantical arguments getting in the way. Is this not why we have dictionaries? Words and their definitions clearly explained to limit confusion? FTLOg!

@McVinegar ok, since I am not a native English speaker, I use the dictionary a lot, to some stereotyped image but it actually more true to it. But here is the ironic after 38 years carrying the dictionary and I find out that the dictionary that I carry was not just for me, But for most of these native English speakers as well, because most of them just making up their own meaning instead of using the meaning in the dictionary, and they keep thinking that I do not know English so well, since I am Asian.
@McVinegar The other joke was according to your post. But this is not.
Woman can not blame men for getting bitches, because it is their fault that they put men in the dog-house in the first place. That is how men find bitches, in the dog-house.
Why is it so many people have the confusion of what the word "Ignorance" mean?

Why need a lawyer when we have the dictionary?
The difficulty with dictionaries is that they only reflect common usage. Different times and different cultures often use words very differently and with different meanings which change from their original intent.
