I swear to god this just got said to me in an internet debate:

Again, so what? You can check every dictionary on Earth and it still won't prove your point. If a large number of people think "red" means "blue" then that's an acceptable definition for "red". If you don't like that, then too bad. That's how language works.

Yes, I'm serious.
