So a word is a word only when it's in the dictionary? That's shaky.
Nothing to do with semantics under any stretch of your imagination? I'm under the impression that semantics is the definition we put on words, surely if you're talking about the meaning of a word you're talking semantics? Does that take a large stretch of the imagination? Even a rock could imagine that.
Is there something I'm missing? I'm happy to be corrected if I've been operating under a false concept for all this time.
