"A host of fashionable words and modern jargon, such as frenemies and staycations, has been added to America's most venerable dictionary...It will provide fresh reading for those on staycation (holidays at home) and may even compel some to vlog (video blog) about their introduction to new words...Given the influence American popular culture has around the world, it is likely that some of the new terms will enter into common British parlance before too long."

--The Daily Telegraph, 10 July 2009

Merriam-Webster, Incorporated是美国有名的辞书出版机构。该公司被认为是美国词典编辑家诺亚?韦伯斯特的词典编撰事业继承者，而提到词典时常常使用的“韦氏”也就是出自诺亚?韦伯斯特的姓氏。该公司出版的“韦氏词典”包括有名的《韦氏第三版新英语大辞典》（美国英语辞书，相当于我们的《辞海》或《辞源》），以及《韦氏大学英语词典》。

Merriam-Webster, originally known as the G. & C. Merriam Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, is a United States company that publishes reference books, especially dictionaries that are descendants of Noah Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language.
