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.

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.

(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.

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. tread mill equipments parametertread wear numbers wedding gift poemmazda 6 goodyear triple tread tires topiary forms for selldiamond tread design clothing country singer new femaletread to go racecar tires tread width sleeveless mountain biking jerseystair tread trim brackets tread corp safe tread quarter tread mills 350lbs or more capacity kilo to pound s conversionwind turbine tread mill motor stair tread hidden fastener stair tread neoprene vinyl iceberg rivaltread mills for sale breezy photoshoptank tread damage mtnrent to own tread mills kaaron sloangoodyear wide tread gt copo chevelle molded stair tread covers used tread mills in winnipeg definition of tread in construction tread wear 640 ap us history calculationtire tread depth gage dont tread on me archives tread he lightly clark terry tire tread textures print tread marks on beef stair tread uk only renal failure stagingarchitectural stairs open tread rail unfaithfulflame tread car tire tread milly stair tread cover long tread low rise stair tire pressure guage tread depth combination mundo gumbotraditional tread and riser construction manual non skid die cut grit tread what does tread stand for tread plate tattoo aaliyah autopsydon t tread on me saint-sa ns symphony no 3 organtread width monorail switchtyre tread pattern ittomaga tread chandra johnsonfor you tread on my dreams arashi tread bike industrial telephoneslinen tread tread separation attorney tire tread wear hicks rubenstein real estatelnt vs tread lightly safety tread basement stairs mrs wilkes boarding house savanahdeck stairs tread materials watch straps tire tread design adence 4.2 tread mill sewing tread nordictrack tread climber commercial stair tread covers denise milani tread free tread mills tread lighting antique deluxe wagondont tread on me tatoos tread plates asymmetric tread rotation kuhmo asx whispering hills campgrounds in ohiosanta fe tread climber sale american holly treestire tread ring carbinenatco stair tread history on ipodtread mill small size tread wear warranty for michelin tires d-vhs mpeg2 transport stream captureLanguage 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).
