Dictionary.com pointed out that searches of the word "self-made" were up by 18,628 percent on dictionary.com on Wednesday, suggesting curiosity might have been aroused about the word's true meaning.
Writer Roxane Gay stated that it wasn't actually shade to point out that Jenner "isn't self-made."

"Words have meanings and it behooves a dictionary to remind us of that," she added.
Gay has a very good point. What are dictionaries for, if not to inform us of words' correct meaning?
