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. plastic balaster molds symtomsbecs molds musket ball molds plastic clacker molds contaminationice sculptur molds mmc wizard456 dia bullet molds 12mm square resin molds gum paste molds scout themed candy molds plastic chocolate candy molds renaissance candy molds mackey ceramic molds ranchdog bullet molds breezyceramic sprig molds antique soap molds polymer clay molds stainless steel bath bomb molds denali park rolandcement statuary molds serena williams workout routinercbs molds seventh heaven imbdmelting chocolate for candy molds steam errors when overclockingfine molds cha charvamolds for candles wicca wildlife molds bossteddy bear pancake molds closure molds handcrafted dragonfly cuff braceletdisposable tart molds .5 x 4 candle molds comparing shell molds and sand castings dependent variable interceptguest soap molds goat callergare cera mic molds sandcastle craft molds molds for concrete plaster ice block molds ideas for jello shots molds making plastic bait molds vba page date in footer wordstraight sided votive molds ingot casting molds medical suture threadmake plastic molds copper decrative molds life form fossil molds ham radio deluxe 3.0candle embed molds cigar molds for sale filmobelisk candle molds eagle ceramic molds regeditconcrete patio inplace molds 2006 dodge magnum rtbelsnickle molds boat molds chico wenbar molds concentrate liquid fertilizer for hayinteresting cake molds aaliyahshow dakota potters ceramic molds candidatesbeeswax 1 lb molds british queen potatospecifying molds for injection molding macines easter three crosses plastic canvasdisney floating candle molds mini soap molds rapine bullet molds how to make cement molds the age of nationalismreverse alphabet for casting plaster molds concrete edging molds ruber compression molds stack molds animal injection molds wierd shaped food molds molds fungi ranchofake bricks wall and molds concrete molds cannon making large fiberglass molds critique of cry the beloved countrywilton cake molds motorola catv convertersceltic cross molds organization developmental theoryunmolding jello molds how to checkbox in excelblock ice molds mythbusters toryfull size wax molds ice cube molds free stone molds kinds of molds rss feed my inviting interiors holly williamsbrick molds mosquito molds stoneware cookie molds abc family pediatricians laurys station pamoon cake molds furniture molds hoch molds jello jigglers soccer molds alligator fish depth finder molds 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. 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. how to make concrete molds polymer clay face molds gift ideas male 40 ssoap tray molds molds for ice cream ip issues use of molds super hero candy molds hot tubs carried on trailersresin casting molds old saeco molds lead sinker molds jeremy wilburncookie molds ebay telephones magnetsanns original ceramic molds molds for ceramic ginger jars hirst arts fantasy molds norvell ceramic molds making chocolate candy from molds wholesale soap molds pictures of household molds msc monogrammedvegan chocolate for molds stepping stone molds round 18 creeping around my back stairchocolate molds cornucopia ftpbrass casting molds american media st olaf college choirplastic moon cake molds yamaha virago 920 pistonwanted used ceramic molds candle molds injection molds for 8 long cylinders ftdcandy molds in oklahoma paying fica taxessanta face molds annonces logement qu becball molds sculpey push molds discontinued clear toy molds vibrating molds fantasy building molds express nail molds switched9.3 mm bullet molds sinker molds 8 10 creepy crawley molds clamshot casting weight molds how to compress videosholloween chocolate candy molds confectioners ring molds earring molds duncan ceramic molds usic group suretygear molds howto cement molds china ice sculpture molds professioanl casting molds made from concrete how to make candle molds pretty garden shedsjig molds 8 oz measuring barometric pressureluau candy molds ice cube tray molds thatcher glass molds youngstown childrens museunsangel plaster of paris molds made in fire molds lime jello molds with cream cheese cramer pottery and molds dr deepok choprakids hand print rock molds adding steel in plastic injection molds sun sculpture molds resin for clear molds pastoralwax molds deodorant molds for sale cast iron molds plant diseases molds ice carving molds fountain molds ray molds australia fiberglass molds treadmolds on different foods evaporative cooler blower wheelpalmer sinker molds cisco router 7200 ios upgrade instructionplastic injection molds california molds plaster castings baby molds nuestra casa ukiahpewter toy molds hilts molds hard to find candy molds making paper mache molds shenandoahconstructing molds for concrete emerson vcr manualscustom tint molds molds for cream horns old metal chocolate molds iceberg effecthouse molds holland handicraft chocolate molds penicillium and aspercillium household molds 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? 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.

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).
