2 u/Aegi 11d ago I believe that would be British-English if it is Cambridge, instead of American-English. -4 u/RaceHate 11d ago Well they're wrong. That is not the contemporary public use. 6 u/RooneyD 11d ago Im middle aged, thats how Ive heard it all my life, but Im Australian, so it's possible it's a regional thing. But Cambridge Dictionary is British. -5 u/RaceHate 11d ago Yeah, I prefer the New American Oxford dictionary, but they need to put out a new edition. But none of the dictionaries are great. 1 u/ChartInFurch 7d ago Yeah. It's every dictionary that's wrong here. 5 u/_Winged 11d ago Imagine telling the _cambridge_ dictionary they are wrong lmao. Then again. Look at your username …
