Congrats, all; we did it!
Some notable ones were: gender-fluid (relating to a person whose gender ID or expression is not fixed and shifts over time), agender (relating to a person who does not have a specific gender identity or recognizable gender expression), bigender (relating to a person who has two gender identities or some combination of both)

The "selection" of new words is priceless: games, shady net activities and gender, that's indeed what the first world is about these days. No excuse me while I move to some sane place. Not sure which to pick, the South pole already has internet and probably a lot of people of different gender identities and smartwatches, the North pole is melting, high mountains make me altitude sick all the time and I can't swim well enough to just float in the Pacific for too long.

Pfft. It's nothing if it's not in Oxford. I reject this shipping.
I don't really see much point in dictionary.com these days actually. I use it from time to time but basically if it's not just some meme or colloquial use I feel it has to be in Oxford and if it is something more trivial and regionally colloquial or just a meme you use urbandictionary to check the intended meaning.
+ I agree that it should be E-sports, it's the only spelling that really makes sense.

I'm on the Ship ship too.

"It's in a random online dictionary, so it is a legit word now!"
Let's wait and see whether the reputable ones for the English language actually pick it up. You know, Merriam-Webster, Oxford, Longman and the likes.

I prefer mid capitalisation on the i/e prefixed words.
eSports.
That reads best to me.
Oh, and it's not official, until it's in the OED :p

It's not made by Apple though... unless they come out with the iSport or the iEsport/ iesport/ ie-sport/ i-e-sport etc.
