Oxford English Dictionary Includes 'La-La Land' In Definition Of Los Angeles

Los Angeles Times:

The Oxford English Dictionary made some stellar updates on March 24, which are now online. For instance, "e-mail" is now "email." You can now, with reference to the OED, eat a banh mi sandwich or a taquito. And FYI (newly added), OMG is there too -- and it dates back to 1917. (OMG!).

Well OK I guess. Remember folks there are normal people who get up and go to work everyday at everyday jobs like everyone else, that lives in LA, the address is not Hollywood, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, more likely it's San Pedro, Van Nuys, Tujunga or Canoga Park.

I hope Spidey was able to make bail. Looks like a set-up by JJJ.

Scary. Imagine OMG is almost 100 years old. Reminds me when a guy walked into the office with a goatee and I showed him mine from college days 30 years before. He shaved it off at lunchtime.

American today think everything was invented yesterday, in America. Sorry guys. Even the internet is many years old. And it wasn't the current generation that invented the cellphone or the computer.
