As the English language evolves, certain words of foreign or Frankensteinian origin find themselves part of their daily use. The Oxford English Dictionary: Like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, only for words.
It's official: "wiki" is now a fully-fledged member of the English lexicon, according to the latest update of the online Oxford English Dictionary (OED).OED chief editor John Simpson said in a statement: "Words are included in the dictionary on the basis of the documentary evidence that we have collected about them. A while ago this evidence suggested that wiki was starting to make a name for itself.
"We tracked it for several years, researched its origins and finally decided it was time to include it in the dictionary."
I'm sick of technopreneur asswipes filling my machine with malware to push their irritainment.
