'Major victory' for Essex girls
The Times reports on what it calls a "major victory" for The Essex Girls Liberation Front. The Oxford University Press has agreed to remove a definition of "Essex Girl" from its dictionary for foreign language students trying to learn English.
The publication had said the term could be best defined as "a type of young woman who is not intelligent, dresses badly and talks in a loud and ugly way". The OED says it acted not because the phrase was offensive, but because it was falling out of use.
