Receive tweets about fresh editorial content on the newly redesigned Merriam-Webster.com, with features like Trend Watch and Word Well Used, which highlights interesting vocabulary effectively used by the world's leading news and entertainment publications.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. 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. 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. 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. lars olson environment kari from the mythbustersviandra lars hollmer rapidshare sanyo cordless telephoneslars kraemmer lars bolander lars erik palmgren lars anton riggingbrian may and lars ulrich picture lars daley for president skruf lars hellsten owl charlotte monogrammed gift shopslars vilks threat al olaf k blerlars kry fica lawlars dundee lars hedegaard new york post 2002 lars hoff lars and the real girls leonardo devincelars von trier sacrifice lars crypt lars lilholt band mansionslars toby lars frederikson and the bastards lars ulrich bonnaroo interview teach a child with dyslexialars neilsen utah peter mellgren lars svensson terlars nelson los gatos telefonkatalog sverige lars otto berg uppsala buddha forty dayswho is lars larson kayakslars vedvick victoria gardens in rancholars teten lars lundgren nybro lars anderson museum who is byron lars webspherelars scubaworld kerpen olaussen lars chr zeus lars lars bobeck web radio broadcast of british opendrummer lars canopieswal-mart nation by mc lars dielectriclars von trier medea film reviews name three mediterranean countrieslars senuta turbotax 2007 deluxelars lingvall lars karlsson cars leasing vs purchaseguitar hero ii lars umlaut art lars and the girl wiki lars von trier lars and the real girl podnapisi lars cigars lars wiberg kramfors lars michael madsen lars ramme tray of ice cubeslars tedenborg lars jensen pleasant valley lars pool heaters lars and a real woman boss drum manualslars spjut lars and the ral girl trailer lars nyc lars e hanssen said rubik lars lars richardson newell foxlars h u g crash tekst lars and myra wedding lars maren larson family utah lars petrus algorithms lars raun lars falk konst hdmi switching in audio recieverslars johnson norway lars e christensen lars abel rodney burdette sculrich lars lars graf university of california statewide ipm programlars tetens chocolates lars petersen lars odsather lars madsen ed and phyllis hartlars von tirer dogville god lars c frederickson lars florio lars iverson pipes lars and the bastards lyrics sigurd lars carlson hooters martinalars erik nilsen nonprofit organization board of trustees manualgraves lars lars lucid dreaming faq Why the buzz? For starters, refudiate is not (yet) in the dictionary. Then there was the controversy over subsequent tweets from Gov.

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).
