      When one person uses a word with an unusual meaning, they’re just wrong. When a whole country does it it’s a difference of dialect. Are you gonna try to argue that American English is wrong?

          Ditto for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK; aka North Korea). People often intentionally misuse words to obfuscate their true intentions, particularly those with an authoritarian or fascist slant.
