Your meaning, however clear is "Wrong!" if it doesn't exactly match the definition in Webster's dictionary - and woe be you if it's marked "obsolescent", never mind "obsolete", and heaven help you if isn't in the dictionary. Webster fossilized the English language for all time - didn't you know that?

There's some disagreement about some of the side plotlines, but the basics about the book are apparently pretty close, and a fascinating story. On Netflix -- Drew
