Who Has To Look Up That Word, Anyway?

Apple's Dictionary function uses third-party definitions, and one of those has them on the defensive: It's the third alternative definition for "gay," which relates to how people call stuff "gay" in a pejorative sense. Now, it's true that people use that term in that way, but in other cases, the dictionary would point out that this use is offensive. In this case, some versions of the definition don't say that it's offensive, and a user complains. Yeah, it should have noted the offensive nature of the definition, but is there anyone who doesn't know that it's offensive? (NBC News)
