they added ain't too. i don't know why they add words that were obviously made up. next thing they'll be doing is adding "Krelm" to the dictionary
Krelm (krel-m) the crusty part of the top of a ketchup bottle.

I believe the referenced dictionary is a dictionary for the English language.......which would make it...English. If it were it's own language you'd find it in a dictionary based on the Ebonic language. I'm sure there is one but I would tend to agree that it's a dialect instead of it's own language. I'll leave that to the lingusts to debate in depth and probably never come up with a 100% answer.

These are slang terms. Ebonics is a dialect of English with its own particulat grammar structure. Whether or not it is a legitimate language was a controversial issue and still up for debate the last time I checked. The slang terms you mentioned have made their way into the mainstream and are not used uniquely and solely by a particular group of people.

The be conscious "concept" confuses the priority because we are speaking about faith, so it is deceptive human beings into wondering that atheists believe some thing. it is actual purely the alternative of concept. An atheist is individual who denies the existence of a deity/deities and does no longer worship any deity. considering I actual have considered yet another incorrect opinion about atheists, if I had my druthers i'd also upload to the definition above, "...and that denial incorporates each and each and every of the secondary characters linked with that deity". reason: some non secular human beings without delay make a stupid bounce and mistakenly imagine that if atheists deny God they ought to worship devil. i don't understand any atheist who worships some thing, no longer to tutor a mythological being believers made up.

It's not a whole new language It's just the natural evolution of languages. Some words get incorporated into the language and others fade away. "Rad" made it into the dictionary too and nobody talks about a whole new surfer language.

Because Webster's also lists colloquialisms.
BTW, I feel fine about it. It didnt cause me the slightest bit of distress or confusion.

Ebonics, also known as AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) is a dialect of English. It's as legitimate as British English, Canadian English, Australian English, or any other dialect.

Beating someone to death may be quite a workout but it shouldn't be made an olympic sport.
Beating the hell out of our common tongue may sound "cool" but it shouldn't be considered a "language"

They added words that were used on a daily basis, that's all.
