Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anusha" data-source="post: 376619" data-attributes="member: 828">The Oxford English Dictionary has recognized the word 'wiki' as a word, among many others in its latest quarterly update. ‘Wiki' began life as 'wiki wiki', a Hawaiian word meaning 'quick', but the OED has recognised the abbreviated version as "a type of web page designed so that its content can be edited by anyone who accesses it, using a simplified mark-up language". As usual, OED has taken its sweet time with accepting the recent addition of 'wiki', as it has with previous terms that many use on a daily basis (such as the verb 'to google' which was not included until last year).View: <a href="http://www.oed.com/help/updates/Prakrit-prim.html#oos" target="_blank">Words Added in the Quarterly Update</a>News source: <a href="http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2185805/wiki-english-official" target="_blank">vnunet </a></blockquote>
