“K-pop” officially added to Oxford Dictionary

1:39 pm - 08/08/2012

With the growing popularity of K-pop worldwide, the world’s most comprehensive single-language print dictionary, Oxford, has officially added the term “K-Pop” to it’s dictionary.
Oxford defines K-pop as:
noun
[mass noun]
Korean pop music:
the band has a style that mixes European music and K-pop
[as modifier]:
K-pop fans
This gives further credence to the rapid globalization of K-pop.

Well any word that a lot of people use has a good chance of getting into the dictionary. Technically there's no such thing as a proper word, and when people start using a word to mean something, it becomes a 'word'.

I know you know this, but yeah. People complain about what gets put into the OED, but they're not trying to be the arbiter of classy language, they're just presenting a list of words that people use and what they use them to mean.
