That is Webster`s website. A look at the URL will tell you that it is owned by Merriam Webster`s, Something everyone reading this can see. Webster`s is listing by year when the word was added for print from THEIR Archives., Scroll down alphabetically and you will see VEGAN listed and the date of this search is 1944. Time traveler is a branded service by Websters that list any word by year to when it was printed for use. Its long since the age of the internet and now you are going to demand an actual 1944 print dictionary in an effort to once again attempt to foolishly deny you have been proven wrong? The technicality being i don`t have a 1044 Webster`s dictionary? For that matter how may of us do?., That will be your job. Start looking on eBay maybe? Used book stores. Sounds like you have more time on your hands than i do. An electronic archive proof by the actual printer of said Dictionary is suffice. Your reply is juvenile and ignorant.
