“Wi-Fi (certification mark) — used to certify the interoperability of wireless computer networking devices.”
Such is the definition of Wi-Fi, according to the newest edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. It was announced today by the Wi-Fi Alliance trade organization that Wi-Fi was one of nearly 100 new words added to the venerable dictionary.
“You know you’ve truly made it when you’re in Webster’s dictionary,” said Frank Hanzlik, Managing Director of the Wi-Fi Alliance. “Wi-Fi is not only a way of life for thousands and thousands but also is now a bona fide part of the English language.”
