I don't care what ANY dictionary says. Much less a "world" dictionary. I don't validate or invalidate a word based on some phony baloney group of pseudo intellectuals who decided one to day that writing a dictionary "might be cool". I am against these words and phrases because we already have words that work just fine. Why rock the boat? Why would you use a word like "hard" (which describes the physical properties of a tangible object), to describe how "difficult" a task may be? If you insist on this lunacy, then why not use "soft" to describe how easy a task may be? Seems ridiculous now, huh?
