If you thought English dictionaries adding "D'oh!" — the ever-so-famous catchphrase from pop culture icon Homer Simpson — and "unfriend" in the past was a big deal, or even humorous, you may find yourself LOLing about this one. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has decided to include various Internet instant messaging language terms, or as they call it "noteworthy initialisms," including OMG, FYI, LOL, and even the non-acronymic ♥. They join the ranks of IMHO, TMI, and BFF.
