Those Are Your New Words?!?

Let's carry on desecrating the English language, why don't we now...

(And all of you zombies that dare think that 

this is exactly what us bloggers do, each time we blog -

SILENCE, I SAY THEE...!)

When the Oxford English Dictionary 

officially welcomes all those 

''trendy new online words'' 

(''web words'' by any other name?) 

it has got to be a sad day for 

genuine language lovers 

For words and expressions such as 

• derp
• digital detox
• emoji
• FOMO
• hackerspace
• MOOC
• phablet
• selfie
• squee
• srsly
• TL;DR

simply do not deserve the same status
as true-to-form, classic speech patterns.

Especially that last one there:
a mere abbreviation
(as we are in the age of abbreviated talk)
''TL; DR'' stands for
''too long; didn't read'' 
- the total opposite of what we are to encourage
and what a dictionary should stand for either!

There are 65 new additions such as those listed above
that were selected by Oxford for inclusion this time around;
the practice of adding on such ''new words''
is a recurrent one, as ''the Ox'' evidently sees it
as proof that the English language is
in constant evolution, ever-changing
and moving forward with the times...

It is rather the opposite that is occurring there -
and it is sad that Oxford gives it its blessing!
(Even sadder when one notes that
this is but the latest batch!
And Merriam-Webster, for its part,
is adding 150 new ones all at once!!!

Huffington willing... Ha!)

For such ''new words'' don't belong in a dictionary -
they deserve only to be relegated to a
compendium of cyclic talk, buzz words
and other trends that will, hopefully,
go away into the nether ether it sprang from...  

    

Isn't the Urban Dictionary
(an un-dictionary if there ever was one -
for it is a glossary more than anything else)
enough already for these crappy travesties
that do nothing else than bastardize the human language
HUH?
