Quote:
tangent
/ˈtan(d)ʒ(ə)nt/
noun
a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.
- Oxford
We've already seen other people here changing the definitions of words when it didn't suit them, but I didn't expect you to start doing so.

I blame Euclid.
I can cherry-pick definitions too, Oxford is correct only for a subset of 'curved'. Arcs rather than Bezier curves. How is your tangent measured? Rise over run? That's a tangent not an angle.
...that's not normal.
