According to Merriam-Webster.com, “for more than 180 years, Merriam-Webster has been America’s leading provider of language information.” That’s quite a distinction. Millions and millions of people have turned to them over the years for the final say in word definitions.
But apparently Merriam-Webster has been trying to find another means of distinguishing themselves. It’s 2022, after all. They’ve been around for nearly two centuries.
