    The message that Robert Hartwell Fiske brings to us in his Diction¬ ary of Unendurable English is needed more now than ever. I say that because I see (among other horrors) that the once mighty Oxford English Dictionary continues its slide into stark irrelevancy. The OED just released its addendum of words for the March 2011 OED Online, and some of these entries are not even words. Old James Murray’s labor of love deems it advisable to continue adding acronyms to its once-fabled wordhoard, and—not content with that (and feeling a little old-fogeyish about limit¬ ing its collection to mere words and initialisms)—pops in symbols as well. That’s right: the once-august and once-respected tsar of all dictionaries has opted to include in its pages the heart symbol, T, as one definition under the entry for love.
