    Why do you get to define axioms to exclude my definition?

      I don’t define axioms. It is the general definition commonly used, as recorded (but not decided) by the dictionary. Do you in fact have a different definition?

        Words have the meaning we give them, not always just the original meaning

          Exactly. And the general meaning is the one I just gave.

            But general definition is not stable it changes. You’re just saying this in a way to negate my definition. Why do you get to define it?

              The majority/community defines it has hasn’t changed it yet.

                So you’re trying to say words have actual meanings?

                  They have the actual meaning that the majority or community gives them. But that isn’t necessarily static. But you’ve shown no evidence that it’s changed in this case. That’s what I’ve always been saying.

                    So words have settled meanings when you say they do?
