Good to see a quote I used to use in class. I used the phrase “bewitchment of language”(Woolman) when I taught. Who determines “meaning”, the speaker or the listener? I’d try to get my students to recognize that who “defines” determines who has POWER. Fortunately, I think, “won” isn’t one of those ambiguous words in this context.
