Anyway can we at least agree that the word hasn't been hijacked? It's been known under it's current definition for a long time already and there isn't really a concept of 'hijacking' a word in such a way, rather words and language change and evolve over time. Been conservative over the evolution of language is a mug's game, you'll be fighting a losing battle.
