Yeesh, remind me to never get anywhere near anything you build. You do realize that what you're learning in engineering school is how a few professor think the world works. As it sits the Websters dictionary is, has been for a long time, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, the definition of the English language. Regardless of how little respect you have for the makers.

Remember that English was not designed, it evolved over time, and it is changing all of the time. Languages are dynamic, not static.
