antismog

Among some fifty unadapted transfers from English found in the Devoto-Oli dictionary in the entries under A we find contemporary terms such as abstract, acid music, acting out, after hours, airbus, all inclusive, all right, anchor man, antidumping, antismog, anti-spam, appeasement, area manager, attachment, auditing, autofocus, as well as terms absent from the latest Zingarelli edition (Zingarelli 2009) such as access provider, add-on, adware, afro rock, airglow, american bar, anchor woman, anti-age, audiweb, avenue.
