New Usages (for example: Singlet)

When does misusage become okay? Statistically speaking...whenever a following becomes established.

Face cards may never be built, but only paired. That is to say pairing is the only way face cards (K, Q, J) can be taken in. (Rules of Games, According to Hoyle)

singlet, 1. an unlined waistcoat, the opposite of a doublet, which is lined. 2. an undershirt (later: a man's undershirt or jersey) (Webster's Dictionary); (From Wikipedia) Singlet may refer to:

• singlet state, in theoretical physics, a quantum state with zero spin
• in spectroscopy, an entity appearing as a single peak; see NMR spectroscopy
• in optics, a single lens element, the building blocks of lens systems; see lens (optics)
• Australian/New Zealand term for a sleeveless shirt
• a one-piece collarless garment, also known as a vest
  • wrestling singlet, a one-piece garment specific to wrestling
• BID/60, a British encryption machine

and also :

• Singlet oxygen, the common name used for the diamagnetic form of molecular oxygen

If we described the prohibition above (see Hoyle) as "allowed singlets only, i.e. no doublets" the dictionary does not support our use. However in the nearly-instantaneous accounting methodology enjoyed today, we can coin almost any aberration and justify its use (assuming a quorum is met) with the quest to signify uniqueness. This was the case with New Definition: Myacity. Such practice is mandated by purveyors like  Sony (http://www.innovationamerica.us/index.php/innovation-daily/2024-what-sony-played-at-its-annual-shareholder-meeting-this-year) when we begin to lose ("redefine)" appreciation for relationships.

Definitions scarcely have opportunity to give both meaning and purpose. The Caregiver Manual poses a singlet amongst deviations.
