Corporate chieftain turns lexicographer 

The word: McJobs:


McDonald's chairman Jim Cantalupo publicly lost his patience this month with the way ["McJobs"] is being used to describe dead-end work, particularly for young people.

Mr. Cantalupo wrote a letter denouncing Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary for using McJob in its new edition, where the word is defined as "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement."

Yeah? So what's your point?
