| With nearly 4 million Google hits, why isn't 'stateful' in the dictionary? by noteworthy at 4:22 pm EST, Jan 26, 2007 | |||
I first noticed that 'stateful' isn't in the OAD that comes with OSX. (It's also not in the Firefox dictionary, but that's hardly surprising.) So I checked the unabridged OED, and it's only listed there as "rare", with the definition given as "Full of state or dignity; stately." Roughly the same definition is provided by Webster's Unabridged. It seems like more than enough time has passed to warrant a more contemporary listing, at least in the unabridged dictionary. | |||
