      That's right, it has been codified as much as can be done in America short of the National Standards Institute itself making the statement - American's "reference" dictionary of the American version of English has chosen to use Apple buyers as their literal textbook example of how to use the newly add word "sheeple".

      It should be noted that sheeple has been in the English language for over seventy years and recognized by other dictionary bodies. Webster's dictionaries are unlike the OED in how they decide on entering new words.

            It was a brave move to make, but a smart one.
