and the dictionary of the 1800s evolved to the current version through changes in our language as is happening now. the macquarie is continually adding new entries, entries that a decade ago we would have laughed at but now are common vernacular. it it is very probable that there words you are now shunning will soon become part of said dictionary... will they then be embraced?
