It's official: EVOO is now a word. The dictionary tells us so.

Today, on Rachael Ray's talk show, Erin McKean, editor of Oxford American Dictionaries, showed up to present Ray with a framed certificate of recognition. As she explained to Ray, "Because of you, we are putting EVOO in the next edition of the Oxford American College Dictionary." The entry will read: "EVOO: abbr. extra-virgin olive oil."
