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. horse humour jokes humour funny stories saying grace with humour free humour ringtones download now eldridgealabama jeff humour gender discrimination humour making ap puttywedding humour nofear org humour archives olympic fanfare and themehumour speech google humour video humour t shirts pro form 826 exp treadmillstudent worksheets library humour compress avi filepoetry humour lamp complimentary for windowscarte humour nouvel an animee humour a la con su humour love scene unfaithfulhumour on himesh british humour consists of humour pictures meilleur video d humour du quebec nonprofit organization board of trustees manualaustralia lucky country humour humour history humour has endorphines punjabi caller tune codeshort humour poems buy rolls of foreign money bahamaianhumour virtual v subhash kilo to pound s conversioncynical humour cartoons earringsjames bond 007 humour humour wikipedia the free encyclopedia mrs reed in jane eyrehumour saddam hussein prank call geekcole nationale humour hillbilly day ky pikevillemarriage poetry love humour bbc news jokes humour publicite humour oxymoron humour archive geek humour negotiation humour humble jokes humour cars pixar diecast 2008fonds d ecran humour humour in advertising alcohol nz humour blue lake adventure lodge hinton albertasick humour humour in the esl classroom englishness in humour canadian humour wikipedia the free encyclopedia ditry humour photo humour humour and jokes gliddenchange management humour scottish humour birthday cards humour free rude and loud humour sales representative pay ratescomics and humour teaching marketing humour welcome to office humour co uk reversiblevideo humour et blagues walleye river fishing1 corinthians 13 1-13 humour stories las vegas monorail mapfille girl tee shirt mode humour public speaking humour description and function of aqueous humour organic plant retailershumour of brazil titleist golf hat fittedhumour movies relative dispersionhumour friends humour brand clothing camilla parker-bowles humour extreme streetfight humour video arnold humour daz millenium bvh motionhumour and vitamin c cure technorati blog finder humour and comedy how write humour mormon humour humour and comedy writing humour in pharmacy football humour frigidaire water dispenser leakNotable 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. 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). 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 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).
