gollark: Ah, you're one of those subversive "descriptivists".
gollark: Well, the popular meaning of dimensions is now that, but on the other hand it's annoying, confusing and wrong.
gollark: So, our universe has (at least) three spatial dimensions (up/down, left/right, forward/backward).

gollark: That does not mean what you seem to think it means.
