Is ‘Super Girl’ dictionary worthy?

Published at November 29, 2006 in chinese music.

Should the term ‘Super Girl’ be included in the Chinese dictionary? That very question is being posed throughout China of late, with many differing opinions on the issue. This all comes, as one of China’s most respected dictionaries announced that they will not include the term in their upcoming 2007 edition. A statement from the editors, says that they are striving to include terms that are not only popular, but also come with some historical track record of use–which would exclude ‘Super Girl’ of course. This created quite a debate within the public, as the show has been so wildly popular, that many believe it’s future within the language should not be questioned.
