It depends on what sort of reading you're doing.

Very good point. Having lots of slightly varying definitions of various terms
could be hugely harmful.

RFC 2119 is a case in point. While I have some small issues with how RFC 2119
defines its terms, I've come to realize that having consistent meanings for
these terms is far more important.
