people don't understand how lexicons work. imagine thinking the dictionary gets to decide what is and isn't a word... go blork yourselves
edit: just so we're clear, im not saying brian is right, i'm saying this shit isnt fucking funny, because its humor relies on the dictionary being an authority. it's just someone saying "brian" and its funny because they're webster? who the fuck cares, let brian be a tweaker. wasted a minute of my life by posting this and now 7 minutes with these dumbass replies
Except precedented is definitely a word that is used, particularly in the legal field, so the dictionary would definitely win that argument.
A couple of decades in the future the addition of "Presidented" to American English (verb: to arbitrarily make a declaration or issue an order, implicitly illegally) will really confuse things
That's Presidential vs Unpresidential
