Having been surrounded by children blinded by the internet and its daft memes, it disappoints me to hear that even respected entities like the Cambridge Dictionary are giving in to these made-up words that mean nothing but complete nonsense. The potential inclusion of words like "skibidi" and "delulu" in such a prestigious dictionary seems to erode the very fabric of linguistic standards, which have been upheld for generations.

"Skibidi" and "delulu" have arisen from the chaotic realm of internet culture, a place where words are often fleeting, lacking the depth and substance necessary for inclusion in a revered repository of the English language. Dictionaries should aim to reflect significant and enduring contributions to language, providing clarity and understanding, rather than perpetuating transient trends.

The inclusion could set a precedent that embraces memes and internet vernacular as mainstream language too eagerly, potentially corrupting the core principles of linguistic integrity. While it is important to recognize the evolution of language, it is equally crucial to differentiate between transient internet slang and genuinely accepted linguistic expressions.

Research has shown that language is constantly evolving; however, it traditionally has prioritized words with clear, sustainable usage within society. Allowing entries that stem solely from online popularity without significant real-world application downgrades the standards set by historic linguistic scholars. It could undermine the educational role dictionaries play in preserving the richness and complexity of language for new generations.

By signing this petition, we urge the Cambridge Dictionary to reconsider their approach towards selecting entries for their dictionary. Let us protect the value of our language and prevent ephemeral internet jargon from becoming an unnecessary part of the English lexicon. Join us in this cause to preserve the sanctity and significance of our dictionary entries by opposing the inclusion of such superficial terms. Please sign the petition.
