Meh - Added to the English Language Dictionary

Looking for "Track Ten" on my 2 year YouTube Anniversary of posting my first video? Soon. So many of you expressed interest in seeing it, I am really wanting to get it posted, but I need to dust off my old iMac, find the keyboard and mouse for it and put the finishing touches on it. Soon!

As for this video... Meh. No, that is the topic. I am not expressing my lack of enthusiasm about this video, just telling you about the word being added to the Enlgish Language, indicated by the addition of "meh" to the dictionary.

So, nothing to complex on this one. I simple question whether every bit of slang, every gutteral utterance should be added to the dictionary, especially when there is a possibility that this word may not have longevity. Now, I am not saying that it won't, just that "meh" hasn't proven it's long term acceptance as a word yet. No big deal.

Just recently in a video I made called "Let's Make Good An Adverb," I suggest that grammar isn't flexible enough... now I am claiming that the addition of words is too flexible.

"I Feel Good! Is That OK? Make Good an Adverb?"

So what do you all think? Is "meh" worthy of the dictionary? You know what? Your opinion, nor mine, doesn't really matter because the decision has already been made and we weren't consulted. Meh.

Thanks for reading. Read all you want, I'll write more.

hahaha i love how you complain about english grammar and vocubulary. but i'm a french-speaker and i swear that my native language is WAY more difficult than yours.

They add words in the dictionary that are frequantly used. even if meh is basically a sound, it can be added in the dictionary. After all, words themselves aren't based on sounds?
