99 YEAR ERROR ENDS

Dr Stephen Hughes, a physicist from Queensland University of Technology, Sydney has discovered an error in the Oxford Dictionary that went unnoticed for 99 years. He claims that he has discovered the dictionary's definition of the word "siphon" has been incorrect since 1911. While the dictionary mentions that a siphon works due to atmospheric pressure, the actual force that works behind it is gravitational force. He added that "It is gravity that moved the fluid in a siphon, with the water in the longer downward arm pulling the water up the shorter arm”. He has informed this error to the respective people working over it and it is believed to have the correct meaning in the forthcoming edition of Oxford Dictionary.
