This isn't really paranormal but kind of like a creepy conspiracy.
Am I from a different dimension?
I noticed google and bing were returning definitions if you search for individual words and the definitions seem totally deranged. As if the definitions you'd expect from a bully or something along those lines
Here's a couple examples of words which seem to have meanings different that what I'm used to
in·tel·li·gence
inˈteləjəns/
noun
1. 1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
2. My definition. The ability to contemplate and learn from that which is perceived
re·spect
rəˈspekt/
noun
1. 1. a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
2. My definition. Showing acceptance and tolerance for that which is considered good. (If something is of worth you don't reject and/or abuse it)
Do these definitions seem deranged to anyone else?
I haven't read a dictionary of decades so I'm going by old memories, what I've been taught in life and my own opinions.
they're not deranged, just slightly different. different dictionaries phrase definitions differently. this is especially true of abstract concepts like intelligence and respect. also, the way definitions are written is necessarily coloured by the times in which the dictionary is written or revised. this is not a conspiracy.
pick some abstract concepts, look them up in several different dictionaries, and come back if you still think something weird is going on.

Take your meds, OP.
First one sounds like a rewording of the same thing.
Second one sounds like the common modern (and wrong) idea of what respect is. The kind of thing that someone who says "everyone deserves respect" thinks respect is, aka basic courtesy or decency.
