DEAR WORLD:

YOU ALL USE THE WORD "DIFFERENTIATE" INCORRECTLY.

PLEASE STOP IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT.

Not really.
Although that's the case sometimes (and yes, it's how language evolves), there are still occasions where words are simply used incorrectly.


In the face of online evidence, I stand corrected. But I'm pretty sure they're recent definitions.
