    >>In light of same-sex marriage recently becoming the law of the land in England and Wales, publishers of the Oxford English Dictionary have announced plans to revise the word "marriage" to reflect its changing definition.

    In a statement to Gay Star News, an Oxford University Press spokeswoman said usage monitoring is a critical component of keeping the venerable dictionary consistent with changing times. ...

    The OED currently defines marriage as "the formal union of a man and a woman, typically as recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife."<<

    As noted in the comments, should be any second now that the Usual (constitutional free speech loving) Suspects will be banning a DICTIONARY.
