I'm confused here Cresh.
How does this translate to,
all Universes in different comic book companies, the real world ect?
This can easily be subjected to one's own creation of a Reality with multiple Universes.
Instead of saying All of DC's Universes, we can just say DC's Omniverse.
Instead of saying all of Marvel's Universes, we can just say Marvel's Omniverse.
I thought you had a specific official legitimate source,
that related the term "Omniverse"
with all the Universes in Marvel, DC, the real world ect. as a sum.
That doesn't say that though.

Latin and what words actually mean.
I agree.
The word Omni in latin definitely means All.
The word Universum in latin definitely means Universe.
But imo, It doesn't support your point entirely.
I have an analogy of my own now:
The term "Sum" means "the total amount of something that exists"
If I said, "the Sum of my money is $50,000," am I limiting the meaning?
Because surely the "total amount of (money) that exists" is far more than $50,000.
Yet I can use the term because, I'm subjecting it to my personal wealth.
In the same fashion,
while we agree that the term Omniverse means "All Universes"
I don't see why I or You, Marvel or any other person who creates a comic book can't
subject the term to their personal perception.
Especially when the term doesn't specifically constrict itself to one context.
(like the Sun is a Star)
This is why IMO, Marvel, like anyone else,
can subject the term to their personal company.
The meaning hasn't changed, it's just being used in a particular arena.
When Marvel states that they have an Omniverse in their company,
the term Omniverse still means "All UniverseS" (only it's all UniverseS in Marvel)

Now that I see what you were using as a basis,
I have to strongly disagree, but respectfully of course.

I understand, cats sometimes get to me too.
I think we're having a great discussion though, so long as we stay civil, I know I will.
I also want to PM you later, no need to discuss that here.
Let's proceed though, this dialogue of logic is fun. 🙂
