Words mean what people intend for them to mean. Language is something fluid
So if I use a word like "computer" to mean a piece of paper, is that correct? No it's not. So really, words have meanings and your eaning a given word to mean what it does not does not make it mean that.

Why don't we use "Mobipocket" to mean electronic book reader? It's soon going to be just as obsolete a word as eReader.
