1. What is your standard for judging whether a definition is right or wrong? (What is the objective measure being applied?)
2. What is your justification for applying that standard to the dictionary in question? (Is it the dictionaries stated policy? It is broadly accepted as the right standard by linguists?)
3. Where is the evidence that the standard has not been met with regard to the definition in question? If you want to make the argument that the definition was improper, make the argument, but so far, it just sounds like you are asserting your preferred usage as the only allowed one, as there doesn't seem to be anything else offered to support your criticism. |
