“Abbey, aisle, altar, bishop, chapel, disciple, minister, psalm, pulpit, saint, sin and devil”–these words apparently didn’t make it into the latest update of the Oxford Junior Dictionary. That is, the words were taken out of Oxford’s 10,000-word children’s dictionary. Also cut were heather, buttercup, and sycamore.

From the Telegraph article, a mother named Lisa Saunders, said, “The Christian faith still has a strong following. To eradicate so many words associated with the Christianity will have a big effect on the numerous primary schools who use it.”

The article claims “Ms Saunders realised words were being removed when she was helping her son with his homework and discovered that ‘moss’ and ‘fern’, which were in editions up until 2003, were no longer listed.”
