"I tend to stick to broadly understood and accepted definitions."

Beware this. Language maps poorly to reality and the mapping is getting a lot worse with the explosive growth in neologisms and enclave vocabulary.

In software this has gotten completely out of control, with accurate terms being replaced with fuzzy and often meaningless ones. Everyone talks about "refactoring" but a dozen mentions could have eight different meanings.

The controversy over "woman" is just shocking, and the fact that a "trans woman" refers to a man should be setting off alarms. Words should have precise and clear meanings, since they are all we have to bridge between minds.
