Re: It's a good laugh LOLZ again, so marc9000 whines to admin
There's an (e) too: as an example, the word "bug-out" made it into the OED for the first time earlier this year. And yet anyone who has not been buried under a rock for the past few decades knows what it means. Dictionaries are not uncommonly behind the curve of some aspects of language use.
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
