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. todo organizer deluxe v2.6 cosco deluxe comfort ride stoller honda velocity 150cc deluxe ms money 2007 deluxe free full version of lottso deluxe 3d ultra train town deluxe cheats chattanooga deluxe exerciser slash deluxe mcfarlane kids pix deluxe 4 phonics skills activitiesrainforest melodies lights deluxe gym geeksilver cross sleepover deluxe linear chassis deluxe video 1940 ford deluxe rust color reget deluxe k8n-e deluxe iceline deluxe fridge freezer ben jordan deluxe walkthrough hotel alliance deluxe view cart online store turbotax deluxe romanticism in irish artsuper mario bros deluxe with sound wild wire deluxe writing kit rinconconcord freedom deluxe bicycle bryan dixon traffic fatality broward countydeluxe canvas wardrobes postcard organizer deluxe 2.3 deluxe wifes hbfree scrabble blast deluxe find it deluxe argosy univesity san diego cadownload free pocket tanks deluxe jekyll island ga resturantshull lifetime deluxe stainless gtx280 on a a8n sli deluxe the rancho santa fe associationindian fighters deluxe fighters softail deluxe rush slip-on mufflers alpharetta georgia movie theatersfender deluxe 900 a7n8x deluxe sale restore internet explorer icon to desktopzillions deluxe atm specialists physicians attleboro and plainview ma6800 rockingham deluxe lounge chair dirt devil easy steamer deluxe award plaque designrider waite deluxe tarot choprahealthy care deluxe learning booster upper deck authenticated representativemagix music studio 12 deluxe academic chuzzle deluxe key gen leo fender deluxe banjo love scene unfaithfulcorel photo album 6 deluxe fceu super deluxe sd load plastic dielectricis a deluxe reverb loud enough overclockingbroderbund 3d interior design deluxe download battlefield 2142 deluxe personal monogrammed check orderingdeluxe vacation cheap mansionsbrowning deluxe mesh vest pc the sims 2 deluxe cheats laounoffical hotrod deluxe deluxe quickfinder safety nail clipper 257 weatherby vanguard deluxe dispersiondeluxe cozy convertible car little tikes hamilton beach power deluxe stand mixer marble deluxe 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. 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).
