Dictionary definition: the study of meanings, the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the signification of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic development.

<this lack of understanding has resulted from different terminologies, but the problem is not merely one of semantics> -- E.L. Kelly

Welcome, Carolyn! I like your books.

How 'bout: When I am misunderstood, I always say it was
a matter of semantics.
