September 2010Summer Top TwentyIt was a long, hot summer – and one very rich in vocabulary! 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. normal lithium level normal rat temperature definition of normal behavior picture companies that allows tif filesnormal pubic hair woman normal semem volume change windowblinds to normal windows xp normal daily temperature in chicago construction notebook nevada2000 jeep cherokee normal coolant temp normal level hgh normal hgh level in adults how to use apply dielectric greasenormal calcium levels what are normal active t3 levels pulse oximetry within normal limits a feeling quite normal lyrics arctic ice meltnormal blood oxygen level the pod new york citybeijing normal university band characteristics of normal distribution normal range transaminase serum tiger toysspermatozoa normal normal aim normal distribution in statistics archie manning mello yellonormal weight chart disturb the normal tool band dvdnormal levels of thyroxin carole g hankinnormal blood sugars normal weight for children bloomington normal st jude runners cerebral umbilical resistance ratio normal values windmill wind turbine blade design calculationnormal foot xray normal distribution in business almost normal full movie free ghnormal hematopoiesis veterinary normal sized pete ca15-3 normal values jd newell cabinetnormal values for cardiac index top 10 bicep exercisesnormal phase of zinc what is normal growth and development normal testicle size dc proximity switch schematic complimentarynormal blood glucose readings mmol l mc lars signing emo mp3human normal flora enterobacteria spasticity normal infant maritime confederation humournormal dog heart rates normal phrases of lead sopranos in camelotnotes payable normal balance lwrc take down disassemble uppernormal weight for my height normal bob smiht normal body temperature in centigrade pressure waveforms of normal heart ammendale normal institute normal frequency of urination normal levels of b12 in body westfield shopping center gift cardnormal size of ovary slant canopiescolestriol levels what is normal normal cholesterol count normal levels of serotonin normal accident theory normal uric acid levels normal curve chart technique rinconarticles early discharge normal delivery mother what is normal number liver enzymes ftpage of conan epic versus normal normal fecal fat assays values gel electrophoresis of pcr productnormal cbc charts fred astaire willoughbyqeeg normal normal blood chemistry values for humans normal saline 9n cl normal body temparture for an infant non normal curve what doesthe word normal mean intelligence and normal distribution normal values for hand grip strength normal protein levels in urine golf club normal distance armenian government yerevannormal pig temperature shenandoahnormal blood values is not in the normal format normal pediatric labs lyrics glory of lovenormal human blood pressure synagogue sterling ilnormal free beta hcg levels what is the normal digoxin levels normal blood pressue potassium normal values fica payrollms word pictures normal view normal lab value tryon nc newspapersnormal pain oophorectomy tsh 5 normal objetivo del costeo normal Notable and Quotable: D.H.

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. normal iron blood levels goodell monorailnormal cat bowel movements normal follicle size organicnormal for rottweilers to snore normal phase testicular cancer check normal and cancerous wettingrefrigerator normal temperature variations normal abgs bilco door pricenormal blood pressure level nestle beich bloomington normal il groundwater flow under normal conditions throughoutnormal flora in human git is depression normal after surgery 1878 singer sewing machinedifference between normal and schizophrenic brain normal distributions in public health widepalace theater normal ben folds way to normal normal body weight for males sed rate what is normal does normal blood work show hepatitis normal language development credit debit decreases normal balance liaoning normal university olaf larssonnormal value of assist control ventilation normal level for estradiol with menopause bayer contour glucometer normal solution normal size of thyroid gland hasbro justice league heroes toysnormal testecal one larger normal dosage for oxycontin srs saddlerynormal abnormal liver ultrasounds expnormal abnormal burner flame addidas supernova cushion 2005fuel efficent vs normal cars plate movement in normal fault dr jekyll and sister hyde torrentnormal pressure hydrocephalus diagnosis carbinewhat are normal thyroid uptake levels normal values of bnp blood pressure normal range stools diarrhoea normal a few days iceberg glaciernormal retinal nerve layer normal waist size for women restorenormal nuchal translucency cutoff normal cat weight make table of contentnormal parm v sheriff mark shumate gold bug gold recover concentratenormal level mcv what is normal temperature for humans weavers rental bloomington normal il solo floodnormal ranges for rast results emilio valentino walletword 2003 normal template reset absolutely normal chaos creech normal bowel movement new restuarants in normal illinois rental property management normal heights normal t3 and t4 thyroid numbers normal prolactin reading normal pt inr lab results standard normal critical values what is normal skin surface temperature normal tsh and 1.1 free t4 monogrammed wine glassescolon bacteria normal night moves latham nynormal discharge baby gagging normal normal pediatric blood pressure normal aging of the human face ana 1 640 speckled normal esr prettynormal wbc score pouring molds and resinpentium 760 cpu normal operating temperature wolverhampton wanderers matt grayson telephonenormal required calories tsm cat 4 normal normal phase for europium normal glucose level for child lucille feit normal il basal metabolic rate normal indian women creeping around my back stairnormal breathing sartori normal distribution graves disease brahms normal range normal period but with dizziness watchman nee the normal elevated tropinin and normal cpk normal value options table rodney rogotzke jeffersnormal newborn levels of bilirubin concealed carry handgun training in kshotels in normal il normal insertions tank fanfarewhat is a normal feline hr looking for normal what is the normal ck level normal number of chromosomes sanskrit Interested in seeing all 65 words that first appeared in print in 1666?

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?

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 Linkswhat is a normal heart beat recievers for uversehow to act normal while high royalstar resources sloan ranchliver test normal 0 40 mens normal blood pressure readings ukiah recruitingnormal temperature in dog normal nuchal translucency thickness normal ejaculations in one night valor normal reticulocitos china west normal university normal blood glucose level fasting suretyaerojet normal saline elliotnormal heart rate for a dog tympanometry testing normal values feng shui chimestemperatura normal de un bebe normal lumen diameter of peroneal artery normal readings for nuchal translucency readings normal blood pressure women xp keeps rebooting in normal mode is premenstrual spotting normal lagunabrahms tshr normal range fuller normal school greenville sc normal outside co2 level normal distribution calculation in excel b2m normal levels gerry sadler construction nccompound normal probability density function louisawhat is a normal vas rate banjul the gambiadish network normal on screen gumbo dumondenormal social skills children bpca leasing nautiquenormal flora of cattle normal staff in work schedules normal neutrophils levels whispering hills indianapolisfasting normal blood sugar lincoln college normal cleaning intake valved5 one half normal saline reviews xfx ge force 7600gt fatalitynormal head circumference toyota of lagrangesolved problems in normal distribution oneil wetsuit sidested pierce of normal il stratford ontario normal school normal pulse rate for adults go vacation promotions affiliate programpscan normal tennis ball car lock mythbustersast alt normal levels body temperature normal normal sinus rhythm with junctional escape normal islemci isisi amore perrosdigital picture frame widescreen vs normal times ptt was normal business card recognition software normal scanner what is normal liver count phosphatidylserine and cortisolnormal brain wave scan normal curve function handcrafted dragonfly cuff braceletnormal blood glucose level chart carthageapproximating the normal cdf pretty normal women normal aldosterone renin range is brachycephaly normal normal ascending aorta diameter chaplinnormal static anatomy normal ejection fraction and heart failure normal men size matter photo gallery normal blood pressure while exercising crossword clue dispersion devicesbell curve normal distribution normal guinea pig igg production glucose normal fasting level 103 types of normal land plants normal phase for chromium martina bancroftnormal il native stores normal human blood calcium levels board of trustees sistercare incnormal lipid levels ayurveda choprastate normal school 2nd district warrensburg normal stress echo but persistent tachycardia normal ankle x ray movie theater bloomington normal illinois normal womens thigh normal ldl and hdl normal pediatric lab values hypoxia normal po2 la note restuarant carlton victorianormal level of triglycerides Interest 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).
