Description

A sci-fy staple is about to make it's debut in the oxford english dictionary. According to CNN, the sonic screwdriver from the popular show "doctor who" has been added to the dictionary. The fictional gadget gained popularity as the tool of choice for the time-traveling Doctor Who. "Although the revised, third-edition text of the OED entry for sonic adj. won't be published until June, we can travel forward in time to take a sneak peek at this Whovian entry," a blog post on the dictionary's website revealed Saturday. The multi-purpose tool will be joining other already existing entries from the British show such as, TARDIS, Dalek, and Cyberman. Pop-culture terms are commonly added each year to the dictionary. In 2016, OED added 1,200 new additions including: "YOLO" and "'Merica."http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/edition_ent...http://www.wochit.comThis video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
