New I do not think that word means what you think it means

New Wow! you do him a lot of credit
If I understand this correctly, the Oxford English Dictionary contains 97,600 primary words with 500,000 definitions of them. The bot would have to create new words to misinterpret. Pretty good trick... :)

New That's what used to be called the Oxford Abridged, IIRC
and it's abridged to a pretty significant degree.

...though I have to admit that the last number I heard for words in English was ~300,000. To be fair, that was before the Internet and the concomitant boom in word coinings.

Last but not least, yes Marlowe, Democracy can be authoritarian. Just ask anyone Romany, Jewish, Gay, etc after the Bundestag voted to make Hitler dictator.
