I quite feel like you misunderstand a 'definition'.
A definition of something is giving boundaries to a meaning so we can associate acts, persons, objects, places, etc etc to certain words and expressions. These boundaries are what lets us identify these among other similar or non-similar acts, persons, objects, places, etc etc...

But what I feel you've been doing now these last few posts, is trying to back yourself up arguing that these definitions are rather loose and shouldn't be taken so literally and as argued here the word 'riot' should have a wider use than "a form of civil disorder characterized by disorganized groups lashing out in a sudden and intense rash of violence against people or property." As said by Wikipedia or any decent English dictionary whatsoever.

But by changing any of these properties, you get another word and hereby another meaning. If it's not just a group but the entire population, it'll be a revolt, if it's not a group but only a single person then it's not a riot either. And therefore if it's not disorganized it's not a riot.

No amount of fancy words will change that.

Ye, I'm not an expert on the difference between A.E. and B.E. I try to remain uninfluenced as well although it's not always as easy, I didn't realize A.E. removed that 1 'L' so pardon me for that.

I was just busy writing a TL;DR in my forum. Have there been any recent developments?

And that's how you advertise without it looking like spam.

Next I will teach you how to force a thread lock when you're losing an argument or a thread has outlived your own personal use for it and you don't want to risk it being exploited for the common good.
