"Smile! Selfie is in the dictionary: Word among new entries including 'bitcoin', 'twerking' and 'phablet'"

It's nice, but I prefer decentralized spelllling and dixtionarees.

Edit: You Are Known by the Company You Keep. We're as important as twerking and selfie! oh boy!

I guess you haven't head of DicCoin then. It's like NameCoin. Decentralized international dictionary.

It's so bizarrely politicised, I cannot fathom at all how the committee that came to this decision possibly did so. It's a brand name really; are they trying to tell us that the name of every fictional character, story, comic, TV-show, brand of electronics, business, stationary maker and breakfast cereal is also a word deserving a dictionary definition? Weirdest Bitcoin association outside of the community bubble that has ever taken place.
