A comment on Curse Of The Gifted (2000). Parent comment
Is it an incorrect assumption if people are simply using what they have learned from others over time as far as what the word appears to mean?
In other words if you think that a "PC" is an IBM PC even though a Mac is a "PC" isn't that ok?
I say the ubiquitous definition is such that there is very little you will be able to do to change that.
What we are talking about is defacto vs. dejure. Dejure you are right. Defacto though seems to indicate "such people" are right.
