I think I get what you're saying.
Natural language just isn't precise, and we have to say things like "I mean 'agnostic' in the sense of _____."
As Prof. Lunaphiles says, tidying up definitions will help people understand each other. I think you agree with him on that.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the current definitions, the only two people amongst this entire site of atheists who seem to have a problem with the definitions are the two of you. The current definitions are simple short and accepted by almost every atheist I have ever talked to. The definitions are not even the important part of the god discussion, it's the concepts that are important.
