Geek Recognition - Merriam-Webster Style

The latest version of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary will include such geek terms as webinar, malware, netroots, pretexting, and fanboy. Webinar is "one more example of the significant ongoing trend for electronic technologies to add words to the language," Merriam-Webster publisher John Morse said in a Monday press release. All toll, about one hundred new words have been added to the 2008 edition. With 'woot' making its appearance last year and 'fanboy' this year my prediction for 2009 is 'tweet' in refernece to Twitter posts!
