Yes I know they aren't the first person to use the word that way, it still bothers me. I didn't know this abuse had become widespread enough to warrant an addition to the dictionary.

I think you are mistaken as to the recency of this definiton.

According to wikitionary, the definition : "Exhibiting social equality, egalitarian" for the word "democratic" dates back to 1915.

I checked wiktionary before posting and did not see that. Where do you see that? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/democratize

EDIT: Ah, ok, it's under "https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/democratic". But I'm still not seeing 1915 there.

EDIT2: Ok it was hidden under an expandable.
