I disagree with the idea that a word needs to be used a lot to belong in a dictionary.
Online dictionaries shouldn’t be treated the same way as physical dictionaries.
I agree with the idea that a word needs to be used a lot to belong in a dictionary.
Online dictionaries should be treated the same way as phsical dicionaries.
The reason is: if I as a person not knowing the word and hearing it the first time, I shoulb be able to took it up.
That makes no sense at all…
If you want to be able to look a word up, you should want obscure words to also be in a dictionary.
There is no reason not to add a word to an online dictionary.
It shouldn’t follow the same rules as a physical dictionary, because there is no space limit, and it’s easy to add a word.
