> It's not a "shameful attempt at elitism" to point out that the first-listed definition is what I said.

That wasn't the behavior backing the claim, and you know it. The behaviour backing the claim was ignoring the definition being used as an excuse to try and correct people when you know well what they were saying. It's a sign of insecurity, generally.

> Your rejoinder that there exists some definition that could encompass your preferred usage does not refute what I said.

The fact that the word as a definition that shows that people were using it correctly is what refutes your claim.

> Since you seem to be impervious to such logic

I have no problem with logic, but I am critical of various peoples "logic".

> I'll leave it here.

I'm skeptical, but if you follow through I'll be appreciative.
