I actually meant to change that sentence... forgot about it until now. For what it's worth, I've gone back and changed it for future readers.
I apologize I did not change it in time. Your quote will remain.
I believe it is said well in someone's sig (can't remember whose): "If 10,000 people believe a stupid thing, it is still a stupid thing."
A common lack of knowledge on a subject does not change the definition of a word. It just makes it commonly incorrect.
