However, we do have many citations for the word in our files, so it may get entered in a later edition. Most of our citations come from editors reading and marking current magazines, newspapers, and books. This is not one of my regular duties, but I did personally read and mark the New York Times Magazine article from the Summer of 2000, which contained a lot of the usual CF vocabulary. I know of at least one other editor here (my "work wife") who does reading and marking on a regular basis and is decidedly CF (there's a topic: If you have a "work spouse" in addition to your usual SO, is he/she CF as well?). I should convince her to read and mark some more CF literature if she hasn't already. You must Sign in before you can post messages.
