Heard on the news this morning something that really pisses me off
It's annual update time for that Bastion of English'ness..
The Mighty Oxford English Dictionary
As usual they have looked for new words to include
BUT.........and here's the rant.........
due to printing restrictions they are limited to the number of pages thay can print.
So............
To make way for new words - some old ones have to be removed
For fooks sake....
They have now included the word "Yo" as a modern teenage greeting
They have included "Who's in Da House" as another modern question
To make way for these supposed new words they have reomved some of the good old traditional English words
First word to be taken out was "Gullible"
What is the world coming to ?
Discuss?
