Well, after all the Oxford's is a British dictionary. People here do speak slightly different and use different colloquialisms and odd expressions than one would in the States.

All very well and good but my original complaint still stands that we would be better off if not every new word has to be documented. I will stand down for now. Tell me - what does it take for words to be taken out of the dictionary? Lack of use at some point? I really don't look at the dictionary too much. Maybe I should but who has time especially with spell checker working on our behalf.
