LOL, OMG, ♥ Added To The Oxford English Dictionary

The stalwart bastion of language, the Oxford English Dictionary, will now include ♥ and LOL as real words worthy of etymological recording. Other words added include the formidable OMG. As they say, 'words" like these "are strongly associated with the language of electronic communications," and have entered the mainstream because of how easy they are to use.

The Queen's lingo is really getting transformed and mordenised here, hey!
