I very often think seriously when I hear the term “Reinvent Yourself.”

Some internet users often think and say they have reinvented themselves.

Might be too deep a subject to cover in one newspaper column.

I often read The Washington Stand, a Family Research Council’s outlet for news and commentary.

They commented this week in an article written by Joshua Arnold, a Washington Stand columnist who is passionate about presenting policy issues in terms people can understand. 

Arnold recently wrote that “after many years the second oldest  English speaking university has reinvented itself as an institution devoted to un-learning.”

Arnold pointed out that the users  of the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary awoke recently to find that the dictionary had added strange definitions of “man” and “woman.”

The Cambridge defines Woman, “as an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

Cambridge now defines Man, “as an adult who lives and identifies as  male though they have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

Arnold challenged Cambridge Dictionary's heterodox redefinition, “as it threatens its own purpose for existence.” Arnold added, “what is the point of a dictionary if definitions are unfixed... if words can mean everything and nothing at any given moment.”

“Cambridge's new definition of woman is not a definition so much as propaganda,” Arnold writes.

The Washington Stand staff writer pointed out that, “the Cambridge Dictionary already had a plain functional definition of “woman” as an adult female human being,” exactly the same as Collins Dictionary, and  virtually equivalent to Oxford Learner's Dictionary (“an  adult female human”) and Merriam-Webster (“an adult female person”) so evidently, such clarity and utility are no longer desired.”
