The type of words that our generation is adding to our country are the new slang words which were created by the people themselves on the Internet. Also, some of the new words are gradually introduced from the industry and emerging technologies. The examples of Internet slang being introduced into the dictionary are: buzkill, chillax and etc. The exmples of technology-based words would be: deleveraging, geoengineering and netbooks.
I think that these words should indeed be in the Dictionary because their absence would stop the language from developing and matching the needs of the population. Sure, there will be some opposition to their introduction, but there was definitely the same type of opposition to the previous reforms in the English language. Therefore, the introduction of new words is a periodic event.
No, these words are pretty accurate in describing my vocabulary and even though there will definitely be a few words that weren't in the list , I can't seem to be able to recall them.
