Oxford Dictionaries update

Post by David Pooley »

Just looking today and I see that the online dictionary (as used by Susie I believe) has been updated with some new words. Given the selection:

NIEURGTWK

7 is no longer the maximum (KERUING, TRUEING) because you can now have TWERKING for 8.

I wonder who is going to be the first contestant to declare one of the new words. Who fancies updating the COUNTMAX word list? :)

I actually had TWERKING accepted on Apterous about three months ago. Possibly before it was cool.
everything has meaning - existence has meaning - being alive has meaning - have dreams - use power
