Retrospective

It appears RETROSPECTIVE is being removed from all new dictionaries from 1st January 2009 onwards. Seems a bit harsh as I can think of a few other words that are more deserving to be removed. Still, that's the decision the powers-that-be have made. Some words have to be removed to make way for new words. It's annoying that a good word like RETROSPECTIVE has to make way for CHAV.
