Deciding what gets included is a painstaking process involving the Springfield, Massachusetts-based company’s roughly two dozen lexicographers, said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at large. Some of the words have been around for decades, but are included in the dictionary because of increased usage. “We need the dictionary more than ever now that we have information flying at us from all directions,” he said.
