Just acause it ain't in no dictonary don't mean it ain't no word.
OK?
Seriously: It is a fact that dictionaries are usually several years behind usage, simply to ensure that the word has really entered the language on a reasonably permanent basis. What is the oldest dictionary to include the word "internet" (
n)? Compare that date to when the internet was 'invented' (ostensibly by Al Gore). Repeat for other words, like Cellular Telephone, WiFi, and others that didn't exist in 1978.
When was the first webcast?
