The problem is you need to get your mind out of the dictionary and start watching some quality TV programing..... Oh wait

HOLY CHERRY PICKING - thats amazing selective reading skills you displayed there < sarc >

pity that if you actually read the list - it idiocracy[ 2006 ] nor the mandela delusion have had much real effect on the OED revisions

hint - slactivism was IIRC a meme of the " church of subgenius " - predating the movie by several years

however it is interesting that if you read the full list - several very common words are only just listed

I want them to add iregardless. (one or two rr's ?? not sure). Have they added that word yet? I want to see it done by executive action if has not been added yet.

You have just named one of my most irritating non-words. Can't stand when someone says it and have to hold in my super ego when it comes to poor grammar or just idiot word usage-and I do live in the sticks in the south that I am constantly befuddled by what people are trying to say. (Pls don't count my typos against me-I am now old.)

In response to PC I'd rather see Urban Dictionary and Uncyclopedia become reality. At least they have LOTS of JOKES, where PC has ZERO!

Anyways, thanks for reminding me I've been needing to rewatch Idiocracy again all summer now. I did see PCU (PC University) and Weekend At Bernie's this summer already

Dictionaries add words they find to have come into use with every edition. Many dictionaries added 'ain't'...and I can hear my mother telling me not to say it from her grave! However, linquists don't judge. They simply record what people say, especially regional terms, for the record.

I do love the movie, though. I would call it a semi-documentary (brought to you by carl's jr.).
