I know....so many people want to use different definitions
from those found in dictionaries. Scurrying to impenetrable
tomes allows any word to mean anything. Even "is" has
been challenged.

I see it more of a matter of precision. And logical fallacies, because dictionaries are often littered with them (it would be better of they had "see word x" than defining a word by that word, and I see that happen a lot in a lot of dictionaries). Bit especially when it comes to precision, sometimes we need at least a paragraph. Sometimes we need entire books. And when it's good it needs lectures and debates.
Or, I see it like you can use a butter knife in lieu of a screwdriver, but it's definitely not the best tool for the job.

I had a chat with Comcast today about my bill. By getting rid of 80 channels we could care less about our bill went down from 173 to 148 surprising me greatly. That put off when we 'cut the cord'.

Yup. That was my old norm. Except the yay part because what I had would have been a lecture about us going to Hell for witchcraft, and your gonna burn, because god is mad, and your filth in his eyes and deserving eternal damnation.

Are you more of a Rod or a Todd?

When people use special definitions
that greatly conflict with the dictionary...

A paddling with Aristotle, Nietzsche, Foucault (that one is more of a spanking).

Are there significant or substantial differences between the two?

Yes.
But I don't remember what they are.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Yes.
But I don't remember what they are.

They've always seemed largely the same to me. Not that I've paid much attention to them, but I don't remember them being that much different.

We're watching a series on the Renaissance. The episodes have fun titles although the pieces themselves don't rise to the level of the titles. - we finished Silk, Sex and Sin tonight

1. Gods, Myths and Oil Paints
2. Whips, Deaths and Madonnas
3. Silk, Sex and Sin
4, Hell, Snakes and Giants

The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Minnow would be lost.
