NDTV: The Merriam-Webster’s Official Scrabble Players Dictionary is playing catch up by adding some of the new-age internet-influenced words to please the millennials.
A total of 300 new words have been added to the dictionary including words which the seniors won’t consider as words but thanks to the social media, they are very much a part of a modern individual’s daily vocabulary.
Some of the new entrants include ‘bestie’, ‘bizjet’, ‘frowny’, ‘ew’, ‘twerk’, ‘zomboid’, ‘beatdown’, ‘botnet’, ‘bitcoin’, ’emoji’, and more.
