Wiki is included in the latest update to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) joining 287 other new words in the online dictionary. OED defines wiki as "a type of Web page designed so that its content can be edited b yanyone who accesses it, using a simplified mark-up language."
Other new words making it into OED include bimbette, blokey, blondie, irritainment, ta-da, tighty-whities, and virtualize. A full list of entries and their definitions can be found at www.oed.com. Remember we will be starting a book club wiki next week. We also will have a 30 day free trial of OED next week.
