    You might want to look up the word dictionary in a dictionary, because it doesn't mean what you think it means. A dictionary is not prescriptive but descriptive with regards to usage, and that is why dictionaries often list a number of different meanings for a given word (in order to reflect how it is commonly used). A 'fanatical' position would be that 'the' dictionary definition is eternal and inviolable, and that if people are using the word in some other way they're transgressing some the sort of divine edict handed down by Holy Oxfordia Himself.

    (By the way, I noticed that you don't have a problem with using the word 'them,' as in 'them words' in a colloquial way. Bit of a double standard.)
