Merriam-Webster Adds ‘Netroots’

Merriam-Webster added “netroots” to its collegiate dictionary this year.

Here’s the definition: “The grassroots political activists who communicate via the Internet especially by blogs.”

Other new entries, announced last week, include “fanboy” (“an enthusiastic devotee”), “malware” (“software designed to interfere”), and “webinar” (“a live online educational presentation“).
