"Prophesize" Not in the Dictionaries

[Fred Shapiro]

Jesse Sheidlower has pointed out that "prophecize" is in OED (I hadn't
looked under that spelling).  Sorry for the error.  Now I've joined David
Shulman, who frequently proclaimed that he had gotten "snowman" into the
dictionaries despite the fact that it had long been in many dictionaries.
