Will the worlds dictionary change because of Yahoo?

Question

Due to Yahoo's silly word attitude, will our whole dictionary change, for example a person who's parents are not married becomes born on the wrong side of the escutcheon, a female dog becomes a chienne, and you know what becomes my furry chat. Is this I want to know a subversive way to amalgamate all our languages, dieu ne connais pas how we are going to cope with chinese letters, its going to be a real born on the wrong side of the escutcheon.

The whole point, to those who have not grasped the nettle, is that words of yore will also have to come back. Now come on SAY that "yore" is not in common use. Yahoo seem intent on selecting words that could be used in another way. For the record I call some persons police, now will they delete that 'cos I think it could be derogatory. As stated, IT should be the use to which a word is put, not the ruddy word.

Answer 1

Why ask us, contact the Oxford Dictionary, they truely know the answer to your question.

Answer 2

Escutcheon - not in use? Well I did not know that and bought four this week. An escutcheon is a decoration, which in my case (since I redo antiques), will go over a key hole in a chest of drawers. It is a decorative piece and the back side of it, or the other side of it, has no decoration on it since it is being either glued or tacked onto something, so it can't be seen.

You can buy them at www.vandykes.com

Answer 3

The dictionary is evolving continually as the language evolves, or should I say becomes corrupted and mutated by people who don't cherish the English language and speak and write it as it was meant to be, but misspell, and use words for meanings other than they were originally intended.

Answer 4

Is "escutcheon" your new word of the day? It is certainly not in common usage

Answer 5

Nope...otherwise, Webster, Oxford have violate their principles...

Any way my friend, we can still call it as "Decktionary!!!" if you want...
