Tweet added to the dictionary

Tweet Here’s something worth putting out there on Twitter: The term “tweet” has been added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. No, seriously, it has. http://www.appletreearts.org/pay-day-direct-lender It’s listed as both a noun and a verb, and it joins 100 or so other words released by Merriam-Webster on Thursday. “Even if people had no interest or possible chance of getting a Twitter account themselves, they now have to know what ‘tweet’ means, and that’s really why it’s in the dictionary,’’ said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at large.

Not a problem for me because I always type […]
