Merriam Webster agrees with aionys. dictionary.com agrees with you.
But I rely on #lojban IRC chat. If nintadni are confused it's the proble= m of the gimste, not nintadni.

This is NOT the problem of Lojban. This is only the problem of English chan= ging.

If "gay" no longer means "merry" (or it's al= most never used in such sense nowadays) then the definition should be chang= ed accordingly.

Unfortunately not all people know wh= at is umami. So I added this awkward wording "has umami taste" to explicitl= y show what I'm talking about.
When more people learn about this = word the *English* definition might be changed (without changing lojbani se= mantics).

E.g. recently in bpfk-list I suggested changing the def= inition of {gleki} from
x1 is happy/merry/gay/glad/gleeful about = x2 (event/state).
to 
x1 is happy/merry/glad/g= leeful about x2 (event/state).

just because one English word completely changed = it's meaning.
