You're argument would imply that the nature of reality is dictated by the assigned definition of sounds uttered by people.
Edit: my statement above is incorrect.
I agree that any intellictual discussion basically boils down to the underlying definition. Which basically just means your definition of a universe includes my definition of the multiverse. I just use the term multiverse, because I don't think we can participate in all iterations of it currently occuring.

Not really. My argument says humans use shared logic and definitions to delineate their reality. A meadow, a forest, an ocean, a lake. Yes there are gray areas in those concepts but when it comes to absolute terms as is found in set theory, there are no gray areas.
The UNIVERSE is everything there is. It has nothing to do with sounds made by humans. It exists as an idea apriori to human consciousness and language.
I misread your post and edited mine as above.
Agree. Different ways of describing the same thing.
