Oxford is No Longer the Arbiter of the English Language

We’ve got a new crop of words in the dictionary that we can use officially. Among them “NSFW,” Cyber Monday,” “paperless,” and “infographic.” Of course, we’ve been using all of these words unofficially for years. So where the dictionary used to be the place to find words you could use, now if you type a shortcut or make a sound and others start grunting it too, it ends up in the big book of words.
