Newslink: The Merriam-Webster Dictionary Has Been Trolling Trump On Twitter For Months

in #newslink8 years ago

📈'Vet' is trending after Trump signed an executive action that temporarily closes the door to refugees. https://t.co/6Ng7G6yVq8

"Four people were involved in writing and editing the 'fact' article, and none of us felt like we shouldn't report the story — choosing not to report that trend would have been much more political than continuing as we always have," Naturale told Vox. "If you don't believe that words matter, why are you consulting a dictionary?"
On Monday, Merriam-Webster subtly scolded the Trump team again, this time in response to a spike in searches for the word "claque." The searches were likely in response to reports that the people who cheered Trump during his visit to CIA headquarters were not actually agency staffers but Trump supporters invited for the occasion.
