Discluded? I have another hypothesis.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (14 children)

I have a third hypothesis to add to the mix..

Disclude is a verb that means to exclude or omit something.

Okay, if a fucking dictionary is paywalled we have gone way beyond the red line for social recovery.

Hell yeah Wiktionary. It's my favorite by far. Got all the classic words, and also all the ones you'd usually go to urban dictionary for. What is based? Bussin? Lean? Rizz? Skibidi? 23 Skidoo? Wiktionary's got you covered

This is the correct response.

I don't think the OED has ever been online for free. They took a different tack to Merriam-Webster and Cambridge, who figured that the ad money was lucrative.

Getting annoyed at paywalling is understandable, but we can't demand that companies make their stuff free just because we want it to be free.

Eh dictionaries started out paywalled

"Recovery?" Now that's an interesting thought!
