Dictionaries are like reality TV.

They sort of make sideshows of themselves in order to simply amuse us. Which is fine by me. I'm a proponent of being easily amused. You know when magicians grab a quarter from behind your ear? One word: AMAZING.

Anywho--Oxford Dictionaries Online has added words to its collection it accepts as...well, words. Like ZOMG, and NSFW. Man cave made the cut, too, as did mani-pedi.

In other words, the way The Real Housewives of New York talk. If those folks aren't the great linguistic geniuses amongst us, I don't know who is.
