OAKLAND, California: In the age of social media and a tweet-happy president, online dictionaries aren't just sitting back and waiting for people to look up words. 

Dictionary.com is pointing out connotations of the words President Donald Trump uses, correcting his misspellings and calling out other famous people in the news. The East Bay company's online posts – especially on Twitter and Facebook – have raised its profile, ensuring the president doesn't always get the last word on controversial matters and offering citizens more context.
