"Children’s dictionary dumps ‘nature’ words
To make way for modern tech terms such as BlackBerry, blog, voicemail and broadband, the latest edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary has opted to drop terms pertaining to old nature. No longer can a child check this dictionary and learn more about the blackberry, dandelion, acorn, heron, otter, magpie, sycamore, or willow."~ http://www.nextnature.net/2009/02/childrens-dictionary-dumps-nature-words/
