Are you sure you know what 'define' means? See, this is why you should not consider yourself an authority on the English language.

This isn't a matter of choosing one of numerous equally-weighted possibilities. In our case we have two possible interpretations. One assumes proper use of language, and is non-functional as an insult, and the other requires us to loosen our foci almost to the point of dissolution.

In other words: Being the author of a statement doesn't mean you can spool gibberish and blame other people if they point out your semantic errors.
