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. organic moose shirt organic baby supplies web radio broadcast of british openorganic melatonin cortisolorganic spary for disease lilacs stagingfresh organic produce drink water kilointercot organic fabric 100 pure organic griffion seed powder symtomsorganic teas paris organic epicier organic functional group tutorial organic goat milk certified organic herbs and vitamins multiple extraction organic chemistry u s organic livestock natural organic vegetarian recipes organic structure elucidation workbook organic restaurant fayetteville chopraorganic cheese brands earrings wholesale crosswine organic assultorganic hemorroid removal organic enchilada tortilla recipe scandia organic baby legs uruguay organic farms organic nomenclature worksheets organic garden nematode control northwood resort big bear lakeorganic seed catalogue organic ice melter an organic perservative organic milk thistle loose petaluma organic vegan chocolate wal mart organic vanessa hudgens home schooledorganic wine blood organic substances inorganic substances copper calcium organic lotion bases is organic food better for us normal pulse rate womenexplain organic and mechanical solidarity organic gardining telephones with caller id answering machinecrop prices organic tomatoes organic volunteers south carolina lake sheridan wyoming countynational organic producers phyllis armstrong wusasciencedaily books organic chemistry with infotrac organic carpet cleaning houston organic indoor herb greenhouse conventional tomatoes organic press flavonoids levels home depot gliddenorganic dried fruits gift online raw organic apple vinger with mother keisha delacruzvolatile organic compounds lighter than water usda organic lavender oil filmorganic systemic fungicide for ornamentals marlows pikeville kyorganic produce delivered orange county ca side effects celexa lamictal combinationarctic produce organic produce palmer ak finishing organic cattlelabel requirements for chlorinated organic farming raising toads organic gardening robot tees onesies organic statewideorganic lard supplier new baby organic volitile organic compunds in wd-40 poa huorganic geochemistry lion brand natural organic cotton yarn meatloaf concert revieworganic buyers wild west organic harvest pediatricians support fluorinated waterorganic knit kit organic white wave tofu organic food coop 38305 bpca leasing nautiqueorganic gifts king arthur organic flour washington king arthur organic flour organic farm in harwood maryland organic catfood custom organic sausages organic farms in tuscany organic bamboo clothing eco-friendly organic vinegar fredorganic catering free natural holistic organic daal recipe holly butler columbus georgiaexample of an organic compound organic spice rack organic whole food vitamins and minerals oss free nmea vba codeWord 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.

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. 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).

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.
