Webster includes “biodiesel” for 2006

Posted By on July 10, 2006

biodiesel in dictionary graphic Frank Giovinazzi pointed out in CarBuyersNotebook, an automotive website I read regularly, that the term “biodiesel” has made it into the 2006 Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the 11th edition. I’m not sure if ‘making Webster’s dictionary’ is the definition of success, but at least everyone will know how to spell it correctly.
🙂
As for Webster’s definition, well its about as generic as a dictionary can get: “a fuel that is similar to diesel fuel and is derived from usually vegetable sources (as soybean oil).”
