> This is nonsense. The French Academy is adding new words to the dictionary every year.
It's not nonsense. They are still working on the same edition, just progressively adding words. There is some debate today, though, because they're mostly working A to Z, so words close to the start of the alphabet have definitions that were written down long ago. The definition for "femme", for example, is controversial. You can read up on this here: https://www.academie-francaise.fr/le-dictionnaire/la-9e-edit...
It's okay not to know something, but maybe inform yourself before calling what other people write "nonsense".
Aaand... you are right. I stand corrected. I follow some of the new words added but they were all either in Larousse or Robert - not the dictionary of the Académie Française. Sorry for that.
In my defense, the "nonsense" feeling was mostly after reading the whole article on how local variants of a language heavily impact the source one.
