When it is in the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition: The supermarket tabloid of dictionaries. Thats right, Merriam-Webster has announced this year’s additions to their catalog of linguistic monstrosities. ‘Ginormous‘ is among them which earns particular disdain from Ohmpage. They don’t list all the additions though as they prefer to just give you a sampler. Presumably this will encourage you to buy a new edition every year. One of the other confirmed additions that we feel compelled to warn you about, believe it or not, ‘crunk‘. If the English language were already dead, this is the equivalent of hiring an necromancer to raise it’s zombie incarnation then killing it all over again with shotgun and chainsaw simultaneously.
We surf hard so you don’t have to. Ohmpage brings you content covering the intersection between technology and culture. Relax. It’s good for you.
