Sez who?

The English language. Lewis Carroll already knew about people
like you, whom he parodied by having Humpty Dumpty say ""When
I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean – neither
more nor less." So did Abraham Lincoln, who would liken the
case to that of the boy who, when asked how many legs his calf
would have if he called its tail a leg, replied, ”Five,” to
which the prompt response was made that calling the tail a leg
would not make it a leg.
