The Oxford English Dictionary Adds OMG And LOL As New Words


The newest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary revises more than 1,900 entries and includes a ton of new words. Internet-speak is finally getting recognized in the dictionary.

Among the new words made popular by texting and online chatare OMG, an abbreviation for 'oh my God.' LOL, meaning 'laughing out loud.' And FYI, short for 'for your information.' Not only that, but the heart symbol (as in 'I heart New York'), the actual graphic, has also made it in.
