Thx' among latest words added to online Oxford dictionary
Lexicographers at Oxford Dictionaries have added a fresh
round of tech jargon to its online English
dictionary, which includes words like 'thx'.
Some additions are the familiar ones, like 'tweetable' and 'social sharing,' which refers to people's growing need to post every piece of daily trivia to the Internet.
Others like "dumbphone" are also included, even if you don't use the term yourself. 'Cruft,'a new addition that means badly designed or unwanted software.
Each new word and phrase added to Oxford goes through a fairly rigorous assessment, whether it began as a suggestion from the public or if the Oxford team itself suggested the word.
