Include 'Wowzers' in the English Dictionary


Include 'Wowzers' in the English Dictionary
The Issue
I, like many others, have experienced the frustration of typing a word only to have autocorrect change it. In my case, I typed 'wowzers', a slang term that means 'wow' but used in a specific context - when joking around with friends about doing their mothers. However, autocorrect changed it to just 'wow'. This incident sparked my interest in advocating for the inclusion of 'wowzers' in the English dictionary.
The English language is ever-evolving and dynamic. It has absorbed words from different cultures and eras, reflecting its adaptability and inclusivity. According to Global Language Monitor (GLM), there are approximately 1.5 million words in English as of 2020 (source: GLM). Yet, there's always room for more.
Adding 'wowzers' to our lexicon would not only validate its usage but also enrich our language by acknowledging how individuals create new expressions to communicate their unique experiences and emotions.
Let's celebrate linguistic diversity and creativity by supporting this petition. Let's tell dictionary compilers that we want 'wowzers' recognized officially! SIGN THIS PETITION NOW!
