Dictionary.com adding IYKYK and "Lost in the Sauce" is a surrender, not a recognition

The inclusion of acronyms and slang like "IYKYK" and "Lost in the Sauce" into a dictionary signals that the lexicographers have given up on maintaining a standard of formal English. A dictionary's role is to document usage, yes, but it also sets a benchmark for clarity; when it validates ephemeral internet jargon, it blurs the line between casual chat and precise communication. In professional writing, using "IYKYK" will only confuse a reader who has not memorized the latest online shorthand, and that confusion is a failure of the language, not an enrichment.
