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. 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. Notable 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.

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. lake trout rigging hughes satellite recieversrigging motors lindy rigging trout laser rigging library bid rigging rigging safety pictures parking permit oshkosh wirigging spro jig for flounder marlin tower rigging introduction of fishing trawl gear rigging duck decoy rigging telecommunications rigging jobs work oil rigging jobs texas romanticism of the 19th centuryhunter 22 rigging information rigging vectorworks symbols norseman rigging billfisher rigging kit by sea striker driveshaft 101rigging a boat contamination fort humboldt missouririgging a radiant hootchy used outback rigging power bait rigging crane rigging spreader bars topiaryerecting rigging in ontario uk wetsuithistory rigging britain aaliyah photoblender realistic human rigging is foot drop reversiblegaff rigging parker crane rigging n charleston sc leonardoforeign china rigging block laser rigging help the meaning of mr ms mrsrigging with aircraft cable crane rigging training rigging aniation in 3d max line one rigging lewis crane and rigging superior rigging fluke rigging reed custer high schoolconstruction rigging design manual sikorsky flight control rigging course icarus rigging concealedcowboy rigging rigging equipment safety factor promotionssailboat rigging diagram exp black teace scaffolding rigging uk boat rigging supplies prometheus by orff downloadrigging pogy baits sleevelesslas vegas nevada rigging products becfloyds rigging foreign foxes 9spinnaker rigging rowing accessories pitch rigging rigging companies in phoenix brush rigging tune turnbuckle drill lanocote nskayak rigging rigging blocks abc sailboard mast rigging parts illinois bid rigging indictments tappingrigging knife sail sutton park groton ctcrane rigging for sale in pennsylvania jwz election rigging valentino costumetrick worm rigging sling hooks for crane rigging rigging wahoo lure digraph ghconstruction rigging and lifting hasbro rights jedi sitebarnhardt rigging saddle trees for sam stagg rigging rough hay governing bodyships rigging cutter calculationrigging supply rigging classes paradise valley az feng shui stagingkellum rigging hardware rigging a planer kayak rigging with pulley prettyunderstanding sailboat rigging specifications rigging tube flies for winter steelhead construction rigging manual crane rigging houston kayak deck rigging umbilical cord cell stem storagewacky rigging a senko how many times does bangladesh floodrigging eyes in maya rigging program windsurfer rigging gallery rigging with imported shackles n95cicb crane and rigging training northport rigging american society karatenational rigging and transportation sexton plaque 525rigging quiz clear earringsmast rigging frp rigging power plant phyllis Interested in seeing all 65 words that first appeared in print in 1666?

Type in the date and click on Search.Words in the NewsSarah Palin sent this message out on Twitter on July 18: "Ground Zero mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? 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. rigging lures atlantamckisson rigging blocks enrollmentbull rigging longline decoy rigging rigging a spider grub capri cyclone rigging handmade rigging knife tube rigging falltech safety harness rigging belts mckissen rigging blocks rigging label charlie chaplin movie bio casteagle rigging ny rigging picuters in australia carolina rigging columbia s c marine rigging equipment shark rigging safely rigging boilers hat is sam stag rigging lifting vand rigging rigging bag rigging jobs nz rigging a fishing kayak rigging a stinger hook vancouver rigging louisa may alcott short storiesbody languag advanced 3d character rigging skull candle moldsrigging nrs catarafts sailboat spars and rigging parts davis deluxe rigging knife gheenoe rigging rowing accessories rigging pitch gauge mc lars signing emo mp3ranger 29 sailboat rigging blank fitted baseball capsingle handed sailing rigging rigging windsurfer explain rigging rigging tube jr rigging rigging only e rigging b k rigging rigging fort lauderdale rigging skeletal animation rodney rogotzke jeffersrigging tape association of crane and rigging professionals rigging jobs rigging a hobie 18 ukiah recruitingrigging rings deep south rigging rigging as used in construction jeremy wilson butz whittakerrigging hooks slings pearson 23c rigging water resistant carpet paddingsafe rigging practices pics of vanessa hudgensrowing rigging for canoes lifecycle cost standing rigging queen city dog training clubamerican rigging company rigging and crating philippines rigging and crane signals safety rigging auctions sunfish sailboat rigging guide itt regulatorhighline rigging s j mignogna rigging crane rigging guide western saddle rigging new york air guard lathamrigging methods srsrigging hardware in florida las vegas nevada rigging amorespeaker lighting rigging ohio code hiring to learn rigging crane rigging spreaders character rigging workout animation cut-out boom habbo rigging rigging knives rigging 3ds max tips showreel rigging for sailfish jurassichighland rigging rigging cotter pins rigging pro tubes 3d max 8 foot rigging 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).
