The most looked-up word all summer was a word that is not in the dictionary: refudiate, the malaprop used by former Gov. Sarah Palin on television and Twitter. The word caused much comment and provoked much research – putting the word repudiate in the Summer Top Twenty as well. Unsurprisingly, the Gulf oil spill and blockbuster films also provided some of the summer's biggest lookups. wolk class submarines russian foxtrot nuclear powered submarines submarines computers michigan petoskey stone earringsnazi submarines gulf of mexico zorpia com submarines flexi leash bagworld war one submarines ww 1 submarines list of german naval submarines names joy lovejoysubmarines virginia class kilo class submarines diesel electric submarines tour cathedral of st peterdeep tow submarines the yale law federalist society homelos angeles class nuclear submarines busbar connection mosfetwho else has nuclear submarines charlie chaplin movie bio castsunken us submarines ice rinks louisianapictures of french submarines submarines lost nuke us china submarines information may 2007 surety bond companies approved in wisconsingerman submarines ww2 rc controlled submarines mpeg2 editor for ubuntuu s submarines articles magazine wesleybuilding typhoon submarines rocket interceptjapanese submarines in atlantic ocean reactor plant for submarines tesco fuel contaminationchinese nuclear submarines bechow submarines evade radar detection vocational trainers in cypruswwii us submarines mary kay representative complaintscaptured japanese submarines japanese submarines sunk by british computers related to submarines kenaibalao class submarines submarines and how they work submarines construction russian mini submarines japanese mini submarines benefits of submarines controllerssubmarines ww1 emerson vcr manualsus submarines ww ii submarines in vietnam french submarines wizard outboardpt pakora daya mandiri submarines history of submarines submarines world war 1 pistonus nuclear submarines tappingscience fair project submarines stagingus wwii submarines bill hicks debbie gibsonwwii submarines doenitz submarines ww2 thames surrender colorado senior living communitiesjason and jason jr submarines who makes submarines today pangolin clawsww ii submarines surviving holland submarines redskins breezy pointsubmarines used hb lands monroe georgiaus o-class submarines 94.9 whomwhat materials are submarines made of advanced radio controlled submarines laws of probabilitysubmarines photos sinking submarines arabian sea submarines wrecks nuclear submarines the century house latham nyhawaii submarines maui tours homemade underwater submarines japanese submarines for sale soviet submarines american attack missile dr deepok chopraww2 submarines claudia jung amore amorechinese submarines wwi submarines buy used submarines tan pronuclear powered submarines new nuclear attack submarines usa military submarines submarines of the civil war tj laniernorth korea ships sunk submarines Word History of the Month: conundrumThe word conundrum is a perennial on the Top 20 list – including this summer's list. Many words that are among the most looked-up on a daily basis are abstract terms with classical roots (think integrity or ubiquitous). Conundrum would seem to fit right in with them. But does it? Something about the word is unsettling – enough for people to be constantly looking it up – and perhaps a bit mysterious. tyco submarines retirement jokes humour speechesjapanese ww2 submarines miniature submarines 1940 1945 submarines in ww2 gold bug gold recover concentratediesal submarines or sale us submarines restore hard drive after farmatlost submarines us ergonomics russian submarines yuting huww1 submarines the eldridge lawrencecuban missile crisis and submarines sweedish diesel submarines chavez ordered submarines anti submarines captains ww2 us navy submarines how do you build submarines n95list of us diesel-electric submarines single person submarines win 98 prin ter driverswho has the most submarines naval ships and submarines tubby submarines german submarines hydrogen protoxide american involvement in world war iione of our submarines is missing facts submarines nuclear propultion submarines fungal menengitispictures of submarines in drydock personal submarines prices seawolf submarines lagrange georgia storageu s navy submarines list sleevelessattack submarines irish rovers ticketsmaking submarines antique toy submarines talksport podpictures of future submarines free websphere barcode javaex german ww2 submarines how to hardened body puttyphotos worlds biggest submarines microwaveitialian wwll submarines tyfoon class submarines evaporative air conditioner coversound absorbing material which coats submarines springsteen emirateshomemade submarines growing food in submarines british submarines carole ferguson tennesseechain of command submarines uk nuclear submarines isolus keisha k videosubmarines in todays world picture of submarines first option lendingfree ww2 video games submarines gambiacuban navy submarines the submarines submarines and the cold war assultwhen and how were submarines developed u s naval submarines drake teach u a lessensubmarines during world war i intakestealth submarines u s submarines bruce jones tread patternroyal navy submarines submarines wikipedia remote controll submarines nuclear submarines oxygen generation first nuclear submarines daz bog coffeeu s navy submarines trident numbers film foddermarbles backlit submarines george washington class submarines making toy submarines which countries have submarines german submarines in great lakes the submarines band muscle shoals baptist associationbaking soda submarines stealth in submarines remote control submarines diver submarines who invented the submarines how do submarines float grey cup favoritesnuclearer submarines submarines hunter killers boomers supinated bicepNotable and Quotable: D.H. LawrenceD.H. Lawrence was born September 11, 1885. Long troubled by ill health, the poet, critic, and novelist (Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Sons and Lovers) died at 44. Samples of his writing appear at some five dozen entries in the Unbridged, the more colorful of them included here. (When was the last time you encountered "everywhere" used as a noun?). Interested in seeing all the examples of a particular writer? Select the Collegiate or the Unabridged as your reference, click on Advanced Search, type in the surname of the writer in the Author Quoted box, and click on Search. From the Mail ServerThis month, editors heard from someone zealous about the need to add a new word to the lexicon, from another person looking for the rich story behind the word cheapskate, and from a set of correspondents eager to understand the rule that distinguishes vowels from consonants. Happy Birthday 1666The Great Fire of London began raging on September 2, 1666. By the time the fire ended three days later, St. Paul's Cathedral, more than 13,000 houses, and dozens of churches had been destroyed. A new London (with less wood) arose from the ashes. The year of the Great Fire also witnessed the first print appearance of 65 words in English that appear in the Collegiate Dictionary. We can see the expanding worlds of science and discovery reflected in these words from fields such as astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. Interested in seeing all 65 words that first appeared in print in 1666? Choose the Collegiate as your reference source and select Date from the pull-down menu.

Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate." This sent refudiate to the top of the Top Twenty for the summer. Why the buzz? For starters, refudiate is not (yet) in the dictionary. Then there was the controversy over subsequent tweets from Gov. Palin, first changing refudiate to repudiate, and then defending her coinage, invoking Shakespeare: "English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!" Language watchers debated whether refudiate was a portmanteau or a malapropism. The blend is easy to figure out (refute or refuse + repudiate). But what's the story on malapropism? Just Foolin' AroundChristopher Nolan's hit movie Inception propelled the word inception to #2 on the Summer Top Twenty. The word inception – which stresses the notion of commencing or beginning without any implication about cause – has an ancestor in capere, Latin for to take. Taking a minute to fool around with the Latin verb capere turns up more than three dozen other English words with capere in their background. Language LinksInterest in refudiate reminds us of the eggcorn. An eggcorn is a sort of "nonce folk etymology" coinage – a word coined through a logical reshaping of an unfamiliar word. For example, someone who has never seen the word acorn in print might well guess the word is eggcorn from its pronunciation. Eggcorns, unlike malapropisms, make sense. But unlike words coined through folk etymology, eggcorns are not recognized as "real" words. (For more on malapropisms and Folk Etymology, just click on those highlighted words in the previous sentence.) For a list of common eggcorns, check out the Eggcorn Database. The "About" section includes an explanation distinguishing eggcorns from folk etymology and mondegreens (some time ago Language Links featured links to collections of the related mondegreen).
