WHAT’S IN A WORD?: Last week, the Concise Oxford English Dictionary eliminated a few words from its listings, including the term “cassette tape.” And you can imagine that a certain local someone didn’t take too kindly to that. “That settles it! I’m going to ban the Oxford Dictionary from the museum,” Bucks Burnett, owner of Dallas’ Eight Track Museum, told Huffington Post. “I have a copy and I’m going to recycle it!” Ever the quote machine, Burnett went on to say: “See if they still have the moon listed in the dictionary. I bet they do. Nobody uses the damn moon anymore, not even NASA.” As we learned from Bucks last year, he’s into things that other people no longer have use for.

WHAT’S IN A COMMITTEE: On Tuesday, we told you about Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings’ intention to form an Arts, Culture and Libraries committee, charged with developing alternative funding sources for these areas.
