“Words are in dictionaries because they exist – they do not exist because they are in dictionaries” Máire Nic Mhaoláin
‘Roastery’ is the latest word that appears to have a campaign for inclusion in a dictionary because it is in use.
Macmillan Dictionary, Chambers Dictionary and Merriam Webster Dictionary all do not have an entry for the word ‘Roastery’. Cambridge Dictionary and Collins Dictionary appears ahead of its rivals and advises that a ‘Roastery’ is a place where coffee beans are roasted.
