I'm surprised. Merriam-Webster is usually the Urban Dictionary of print dictionaries. I'd have more expected them to change their definition because "muh common usage."

I love that there are strong opinions like this out there for dictionaries.

You've convinced me. I'm ride or die for OED now too.

Anyone have the definition of OED?

It's the Oxford English Dictionary
