Vape Vaper and Vaping

I think it is about time Websters and other dictionaries add vape, Vaper and vaping as "real" words. Thoughts please.

Vaporize, Vaporizer and Vaporizing. We're using slang.

It might take Websters a while to catch up, but in fact vape and vaper are found in the online urban dictionary even as I type...

EDIT: Although, ahem, upon reading the definition in the UD, I notice it's referring to vaping a, um, different substance... Oh well.

I was about to read the español subforum. I know I will still come across Spanish words I don't know, so I open bing translator in another tab when I'm about to read it. One day I decided to type "vapeando" into it (it means vaping). Nothing. Those who know enough of a second language know sometimes you will come across a phrase or sentence which you know every individual word but have no clue what the phrase or sentence means. The nice thing about both bing and google translate is they have a lot of these common phrases. I hit one of those sentences in the subforum that included "vapeando". When I put in the whole sentence it translated that word in the sentence to vaping.

Word/Goggle/I Phone etc always wants to auto correct vape, vaper and vaping - my thoughts were these are not yet official words in the English Language.........sexting was added as a real word recently - the language gurus need to catch up with this as well...

And the somewhat more confrontational "vape this!"
