An online Romanian dictionary has found a brilliant though slightly cruel way to deal with cheaters at exams.
SEE ALSO: Oxford wants you to know it's not like the other dictionaries, it's a cool dictionaryDuring a mock test for the National Evaluation last year, the DEX online dictionary noticed a spike in searches for certain words, arising fears that Grade 8 students were using it to cheat.
So this year, during the same preparation exam, they did something radical: they took the three most-searched words and altered the definitions for each one.
The word "pretutindeni" means "everywhere" but anyone looking up for the word between 9 and 11am last Monday would have found it defined as "eternal or forever," according to the DEX online administrators.
Similarly, "to spot" was changed to mean "to rush."
Before the mock test took place, only nine searches for these words were registered. But between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., hundreds of requests took place. It turns out that both words featured in the exam, in a question that asked students to define their meaning.
However, the third word that was changed, "treachery," didn't feature on the exam.
The popularity of that word is due to the fact that it was used by a renowned Romanian author, Andrei Plesu, in his blog.
