Ok did anyone else read Frindle??? Basically it follows this boy who picks up a ballpoint pen in the street, looks at it and calls it a Frindle. This kid goes around school introducing the other kids to the Frindle. Everyone starts to call the pen a Frindle. This English teacher with a yardstick up her butt gets all mad because Frindle isn't a true word. If it was a true word it would be in the dictionary *pause to hold dictionary close as if it held all the answers to the universe* and because it is not in the dictionary the kids are no longer allowed to call the pen a Frindle. In the end the word gets added to the dictionary and the kid who started it all sends a copy to the stuck up teacher. She finds the word Frindle and we get the cutesy end scene where she just laughs and is like "oh well guess I was wrong".

The word "they" used to just be talking about multiple people. But guess what... not anymore. It's in the dictionary therefore both meanings are valid, important, and excepted as true.
