The fifth edition of the shorter Oxford English Dictionary has just been launched and computer words like buggy, uninstall and grep - among others - have finally made it in to mainstream English. But does that really mean we can use the word grep in a sentence and be understood? We doubt it somehow! Sci-fi terms also made it onto the lexicon, including Jedi, Klingon and TARDIS!
so, Grep finally made it into the dictionary :D

What other words do XP-Erience members think should be officially added to the english language / dictionary ?
(sensible things only, and most swear words are already in there :p )
 
Jedi is technically a religion, so if catholic is there, Jedi should be.
 
Hey, cool new words in the dictionary.
Xperience should he added in.
 
if XPerience made it into the dictionary it would be one of the greatest words in there, standing proud alongside 'peon' :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
