The Oxford English Dictionary’s annual June update has a decidedly tech feel this year as the much ballyhooed reference title is adding the words “tweet,” “crowdsourcing,” “e-reader” and “re-direct.”

Every June the dictionary adds several new words to the English vernacular, provided they meet certain criteria. While “tweet” does not meet the standard of having been in existence for at least 10 years, OED chief editor John Simpson said, “it seems to be catching on.”

AllThingsD reports that the 2013 OED update is particularly tech-savvy, “Whatever the reason, ‘tweet’ was just one of a batch of tech-related words and phrases added to the OED in the last year. Among the others is ‘big data,’ the fashionable phrase and subject of glossy photo books that evokes the act of analyzing large data sets for otherwise undetectable patterns.”
