Question by Zac: How to get a word recognized by the dictionary?
Today I started pondering how one may ‘create’ a word and have it entered into a dictionary. How would I see about doing this? Could be a fun summer project.

Answer by Leslie B
To get it into Webster’s it would have to become a very popular, very often used term. Like they added the term “bootylicious” after a song made that a common word.

Question by SuzyQ: Can we use a dictionary to help find words when we play Scrabble?
My friends say that we can only use a dictionary to verify a challenged word. I have always used a dictionary to help find words to play. Who is right??

I think the only purpose of a dictionary in Scrabble is to look up words to see if they are in fact, real words.

Question by ouchifell: Why don’t the New York Times movie reviews have the dictionary feature enabled?
This has confused me since nytimes.com introduced a dictionary feature embedded in their online articles. For most articles, when you come across a word that you don’t know, you can double click it and a dictionary will pop up. However, for their movie reviews – and to me, the articles that could use it the most (try reading an A.O. Scott or Dargis review without consulting a dictionary!) – this feature is disabled! What gives New York Times?

Answer by Dale W
