If you had to change the definition of a word, what would the word and new definition be?

[RYANNOSAURAS]

For my literature essay, I have to discuss a word I would like to change the definition of, but I don't have any word meanings I'd like to change. What word's definition would you guys change?

I would change the word CPU to central processing unit like it's supposed to be. It's amazing how many people think CPU means the entire PC.

Biweekly = twice a week. Actually, I don't care if it only means once every two weeks! JUST MAKE UP YOUR MINDS! D: 

 

Seriously, I've always heard that it meant twice a week, then a teacher said she was paid biweekly, which meant once every two weeks and said I was wrong, so I looked in several dictionaries online and every single one had both definitions. The same goes with the other bi-(measure of time) words. It really gets on my nerves because there doesn't seem to be a standardized rule for which definition you should use and when...

inflammable is an old meaning and generally not accepted in general use due to the exact reason of your interpetation.  general accepted usage is flammable and non flammable.
