The meaning of the word sequel !!!!

A pet peeve of mine is all of those movies that have been released that are what like to refer to as ‘non-sequel sequels’. As best I can figure out these movies are being released as ‘non-sequel sequels’ because certain people in certain production companies either do not know the definition of the word sequel or just do not care and have chosen to completely ignore the definition entirely. For those of you who are completely ignorant of the definition of the word sequel please let me enlighten you.

The Oxford Online English Dictionary defines sequel as being :-
‘A published, broadcast, or recorded work that continues the story or develops the theme of an earlier one’

while the Webster’s Online Dictionary defines sequel as being :-
‘A part added to a book or play that continues and extends it’
