Rich Amber states that a dictionary entry does not make a
meaning correct, only popular.  
C'mon Rich,  what do you think, the 'true' meaning of words are
ordained by God ?  As a language grows and develops, words
sometimes take on new meanings.  Even though some words do
not mean the same thing now that they did 50 years ago, 
they still have a 'true' meaning.  And the 'true' meaning
is the popular meaning.
