Former Oxford English Dictionary Editor Deleted Words from the Dictionary, Ruining Scrabble for Everyone
Caity Weaver · 11/26/12 06:55PM'ZOMG' Is Now an Official Word or Something
Richard Lawson · 06/03/11 02:24PMThe Oxford Dictionaries Online has apparently added the popular internet exclamation "ZOMG" (short for Zak Orth's Mating Grounds) to its big list of words. They've also included "NSFW" (Nudie Sex Fisting Women) and "Twittersphere." Oh brother. I mean, they're citing them as abbreviations and informal words and stuff, not actual King's English, but still. What an age we live in!

Pareene · 12/08/08 02:26PMBored conservatives are up in arms over the new revision of the Oxford University Press' Junior Dictionary! The sun has finally set on the British Empire, now that "empire" is no longer listed in the Oxford University Press Junior Dictionary. Also cut: "aisle", "bishop", "chapel", and "monarch." You'll be disgusted to learn what words replaced those venerable old favorites.
