All i did was a websearch for “Obsolete dictionary meaning”

Its the interpretation of www.merriam-webster.com which in its own words is “an Encyclopaedia Britannica company, America’s leading provider of language information for more than 180 years.”

I get that language is semantics, i use a lot of creative liberties with language all the time but i still think that “Not longer enough profit potential” is not covered under the term “Obsolete” You could argue some doubt but its a cold-hearted business, they don’t get the benefit of doubt. Also my expression doesn’t really need legal or practical value. I am glad to have said what i did.
