Word of the day

Va·lu·ta: –noun

(in Europe) the value of a currency expressed in terms of its rate of exchange with another currency.

All this brings me to this. Why do I have to add words to the Microsoft dictionary on a daily basis? Can't they afford, being the world's largest software company, to hire a few people to type in all the words in fucking dictionary.com to their dictionary?
