Double plus good...

The Oxford Children's dictionary is getting dumbed down in a very tragic manner. It appears "raven" is getting offed in favor of "MP3 Player" (quoth the MP3 player, Nevermore!); where once we had a kingfisher, instead we have voicemail; and say adieu to the lonely beaver--we have shoved him out in favor of that omnipresent word so en vogue these days: tolerant.

How sad.
