Errors in dictionaries

[25362]

Following BigInch's advice and not to stifle the already choked thread378-271784, I repeat here my posting in that thread:

In the same line of thought, I found there still are some spanish dictionaries that define clouds (nubes in Spanish) as masses of vapor...

And? English dictionaries are not so pedantic:

http://onelook.com/?w=vapor&ls=a

a visible suspension in the air of particles of some substance

http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/vapor

Barely visible or cloudy diffused matter, such as mist, fumes, or smoke, suspended in the air.
