To be clear, Monkey's no Luddite – faxes, trouser presses; 'mobile' pagers – the paw is firmly on the pulse of high technology, but we do think it's all gone a bit far when Twitter (whatever that is) is used to choose new words for the Collins English Dictionary. The i reports that the lexicon has asked 'tweeters' to vote for words to be entered in its next edition, with the list including words such as Fatberg (a mass of waste clogging a sewer); Vaguebooking (deliberately vague social media status updates); and Adorkable (dorky in an adorable way). Monkey's a modern type, but this latest development leaves us feeling splenetic and contumacious.
