- tgv 6y agoThere goes Merriam Webster's reputation. Not because of labeling the word offensive, but because a dictionary is supposed to be an authoritative source on the meaning of words. Whether you think it should express a predominantly historical view or one that mirrors current use, updating a definition because one person said so yesterday is not acceptable.
