Twitter Gains Entry into Dictionary as Both a Verb and Noun

Twitter has taken over our computers with its 140 character convenience, and now it’s taking over our dictionaries.

Twitter will be officially entered into the dictionary later this year. If you’re wondering (and I’m sure you are), Twitter will be entered as both a noun and a verb. What’s more, Twitterverse and Twitterati will also be entered. Now excuse me while I go twitter about Twitter in the twitterverse.

“Hardly a day goes by when you don’t see some Twitter-related article. Hence I find it entirely unsurprising that this year we have not one Twitter-related entry in the dictionary, but three.” (telegraph)
