How can I know that the word I use for 'Chocolate' is not the same word you use for 'Orangutang'? o that when I ask you, "Would you like some chocolate?"... you interpret it as: "Would you like some orangutang?"
While it isn't often that people confuse words to an extent such as that... language is all subjective. I don't like having to guess around a literally infinite number of potential definitions a person could use for a word... when they could just tell me.
All of the definitions have to be equivalent or at least extremely similar if people are to discuss them... it just does us no good to be discussing how best to melt orangutang to make chocolate chip cookies.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
