So the number of people doing something is how you determine the definition of a word?

That really makes no sense.

Err, number of people agreeing on a specific meaning is exactly what determines the definitions of a word.

Same for usage of things.

There were always be outliers for whom a thing is better used for Y rather than X, but in the end is what the majority sees the tool as useful for that determines how it's defined (in casual use, dictionaries etc).
