# How about: the publishers of dictionaries look out for new words all the time, and include them in new editions.
These words come about by people using words that aren't in dictionaries. Whenever they do this, there are other people who tell them that they shouldn't use those words because they aren't in the dictionary. Is their disapproval right or wrong? Should we stop inventing new words for new dictionaries?

# How about "u" for "you"?
It matches nicely with the single-letter "I". We could capitalise it, for clarity.
