How ignorant do you have to be to think that Wiki's dictionary is better than the OED? I have some fool suggesting Wiki's understanding of Nihilism is actually better than a semester course on it at a University.

The OED can sometimes lack more recent (or local) usages of words that other, less reputable dictionaries contain them. Though that wouldn't apply to Nihilism.

Shakesville is a really big, really high-traffic feminist blog. And since I plan on starting my own (locally-focused) this weekend, a guest post at Shakesville for one of my very first posts will be AWESOME.

I completed Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Also- having a so-called Nihilist accuse me of Hypocrisy is funny as hell.

that is seriously OMG-worthy.

that is seriously OMG-worthy.

Which one?

I'm thinking about using logic to systamatically defeat the position he is justifying with Nihilism.

It'd amount to a refutation of relativism, since in Nihilism asserting there is no objective "truth" or value for "real" in life, the only fall back is relativism.

Not the online version. It's updated regularily, I think at least once a year.

Local however isn't the place of the OED. For that you want the Oxford X English Dictionary. For instance the Oxford Canadian English Dictionary will have local variations.

I was basing my claim off of the online version as that is the one that I use and have observed this. However, I can't remember with which words I did observe this and so will retract my claim. If I come across them, or other, again, I'll throw them up.

Shakesville, because you couldn't pay me to give a crap about Nihilism.
