      Quick, someone said “irony” and nobody knows what that is! I’ll vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore I won the debate.

        Happens more often than you’d like to think.

          You mean the bit where you vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore won the debate? Maybe you should stop doing that and people will downvote you less.

            I guess I’m so old that I assume Merriam-Webster is unspoken default. Do you have a different dictionary that you prefer?

              There are literally like 10 different major dictionaries. If you have one specific one in mind, I’ll kindly refer you to OneLook.com

                If you have one specific one in mind

                Merriam-Webster.

                Although the definitions overlap heavily, so you’re not pegged to that one.

      Yes, you really do.
