Today Mazie Hirono said the term "sexual preference" is offensive. @SteveKrak showed as of September 28 Merriam-Webster didn't say it was offensive, but today it does say that.
So I checked when the entry was last changed according to merriam webster and *THEY CHANGED IT TODAY*
@thorsvensonn found the original change:
@SteveKrak with the signal boost:
Let's give credit ppl!
Hat tips and follows where they are due!
Also @Voice0fReazon had a hand in the find as well!
And, to make sure this is clear, merriam webster says they last updated the entry for preference october 13. I only had room for four screenshots in my tweet
I only had room for 4 screen shots, but just so it is clear, merriam-webster says they updated the entry for preference on October 13. My tweet is correct.
And, just so it's clear, it still says that the entry was last updated October 13. My tweet is correct.
I only had room for 4 screenshots so I left this one out, but I am including it here as further proof that my tweet is correct.
👍👍👍
