A Victoria to get a word in the dictionary prompted response from Oxford itself.

Six-year-old Levi Budd, a St. Micheals University School second-grader, made a bid to add levidrome to the dictionary after learning all about palindromes and discovering no readily used word for a word that spells another valid word backward 含羞草研究社� such as stop and pots.

He decided to create a new word featuring his name, and try to get it in the dictionary.

They started with a video, local Black Press media outlets and a social media campaign.

含羞草研究社淭hen all we do is wait and hope that people keep using your word,含羞草研究社� Juganaru said. 含羞草研究社淲e have a list of all the words we want to keep an eye on and levidrome is on that list in a hear or so if lots of people are still using your word it might well get into our dictionary.含羞草研究社�

The word is already in the user-submitted online.
