Choir here. Maybe you should explain this to IBM marketing and
"C" level management? To bad they aren't A level managers. ;-)
Just say'n'.

Everyone may use it's own imagination.
Made up definitions are either jabberwocky or slang.
Of course some definition may be less popular than other.
So you are saying everyone's definition is correct as long as that person knows
what it means.
IMHO, The most commonly used definition
NOWADAYS is: IBM System Z.
Common use of a word doesn't mean people use it correctly. My point is that everyone is
using "mainframe" incorrectly. Either System z is a server or all servers are
mainframes. Either change the definition or people should use it correctly.
