Yeah... a word is added in a dictionary if it is just used. "To decide which words to include in the dictionary and to determine what they mean, Merriam-Webster editors study the language as it's used. They carefully monitor which words people use most often and how they use them." So, just because people say something doesn't make it right. I mean... bling is now a word. That's like saying Roar and Meow is a word. |
Well, languages and words are created so that ideas can be understood. Deceleration is a word that implies a very simple idea. Don't try to make communication harder than it should be.
