The Wikipedia article concerning Isaac Asimov clearly states that he was the first to use the term "robotics." Would it not be worthwhile to include that fact in an etymology of the word, or are facts like that considered to be too encyclopedic for a dictionary definition? Example: the dictionary.reference.com article of the word "vorpal" cleary states that C. S Lewis was the one who coined the term.

Ha! It was Lewis Carroll, not C.S. Lewis. Wrong Lewis! (Dictionary.com does have the correct info.) 68.65.72.235 02:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
