The digital redefinition of childhood? Another kind of digital enclosure?

Here is a link to a story about how certain words are being removed from Oxford University Press's young people's dictionary, to be replaced by others. The story's title is Words associated with Christianity and British history taken out of children's dictionary but as Michael Gillelan notes in Laudator Temporis Acti
the words removed include many terms used to describe the countryside: Acorn, ash, sycamore, beech, chestnut, dandelion, holly, ivy, pasture, primrose, willow, and walnut among them. New words in the dictionary include blog, broadband, MP3,chatroom and voice mail. If you've read Richard Louv's Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, or Steve Talbott's Devices of the Soul: Battling for Ourselves in an Age of Machines, you'll be as horrified as I am.
