Call me an elitist but...Oxford adding mumble jumble like "LOL" and "ttyl" to its pages begs the question - ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??? We all just got a gagillion times dumber-er.
This starts with a "C" and ends with a "P". It's crap. Some scrawny, four-eyed intern got denied a job at UrbanDictionary.com and has decided to wage war with its traditional arch enemy - the Oxford Dictionary. Child, please!!
LOL and LMAO are a disgrace to the English language. An abomination! Shakespeare in his grave doth roll over. Way to sell out.
They don't put "y'all" on those pages but give the green light for abbreviations. Pump the brakes, contemporary society, pump the brakes. Until there's a definition for CUBE COMA or TWENTY-SOMETHING (fact: twenty-something is not found in the dictionary. i'm starting the petition right now.), then the Oxford English Dictionary is dead to me.
This is why we can't have nice things...
