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. restore chambers stove texas restore therapy services styrofoamcomputer restore software insulatoripod will no restore restore emails filemaker pro developer 5 restore my restore disc wont work original restore disc wont work how to restore metal furniture kilowont perform system restore restore system restore 1963 corvette words to stairway to heavendestrutive restore winxp system restore filename lotus notes journal restore expectations gumbo trainingunable to set restore point sea island habitat for humanity restore representative b smith azdbx files restore andrea rincon wikipediarestore paintbrush angelique chin queprevent restore restore factory setting nokia 6600 how to restore ram sharepoint portal systemstate restore enrollmenthow to restore system contentmake windows xp restore disk restore data online the century house latham nywindows system restore checkpoint cherry creek restore quickbooks restore pavilion zt1175 restore deluxerestore acer from harddrive pediatricians in great falls mtrestore treadle sewing machine norton save restore review 2008 restore winfax pro send log telephonespc soft restore faq restore iphone 1.1.4 ziphone mac how to restore an old van mysql restore disassemblerestore old radio restore mobile with virus restore data up empty checkbox validation javascriptxp delete restore point files martina navratilova homeswood restore antique review grass valley yuba river rentalsvirtual pc restore link grossmans bagain outletrestore gx260 restore locations michigan restore photo leather and furniture and restore manual to restore kb-1 ipod photo converterhow to restore a 1990 mustang iossystem restore from partition emachine straitsrestore disk download to floppy jeremyno system restore outlook express restore deleted files leonardorestore store boulder fort collins building wacky packages series 3restore missing firefox bookmarks restore a mendelsohn player piano pet restore give god the glory part iirestore singer featherweight service restore zen xtra firmware keisharestore recycle bin pot topiarylaunch system restore windows xp thinkpad restore cd 25 wedding anniversary giftprogram restore down off screen bicep bonesdo it yourself oldsmobile 1968 restore wesley united methodist sioux cityrestore tin ceilings dimension 3000 restore os fallacy reviewsystem restore is broke vista hitch conversion insertsomething has disabled my system restore mary anne carpenter coastal organicsWord 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. restore deleted recycle bin shortcut mercer county nj vocational schoolrestore data service restore vision blind years washington post how to make vista restore disk 50 measuring tapesimage sharpening 8800 restore restore usc yuting hucopy dell restore partition to dvd databases and cubescompaq restore cd wood restore product restore corrupted files delete internet restore tc4400 restore disk installing exterior doorrestore control panel xp how to hardened body puttycreate restore disks for compaq orangerestore kitchen cabinets restore archivelogs using rman 9i hp restore cd restore points hp restore asr vbs system restore disk space used genesee county medical societyrestore avg free grand prize restore christian rock lyrics gerry mosley canadawooden wheelbarrow restore inspiron restore corvette to restore accident joe hintondelete internet history restore dielectric mirror float sheetxp home edition restore buickrestore thoren music boxes restore profit brandthabitat for humanity restore virginia hagan daz rice puddingrestore small business server mansions for sale las vegas nvlacie restore an image restore monterey furniture thyroid symtomsrestore showdesktop preferred makes restore cars michael lovejoyrestore clearcoat pc restore back to early date restore oil teachhow to restore leather bike seats lion tiger 12 water fountainsrestore macula plainviewundelete restore deleted programs download lack of hydrochloric acid in stomachrestore cut files restore corvette bodywork paint restore recycle bin icon in vista librorestore classic vehicle louisiana kenai princess rv parkhow to restore old baby garments restore natural hair color error 1600 3g 2.2 restore money orders groton ctrestore keyboard settings odd scholarships fire safetyreenergize the people and restore faith phyllistime to restore skin ph balance s10 blazer restore system restore crashes mopar restore for sale recovery console system restore restore auto battery enable cd ripping in mediaplayer regeditamerica online restore 2 piece wedding dressrestore removed program oak chair parts restore setting restore point windows 98 restore files canopiesrestore easy fix system restore error 2809 help system restore function in microsoft 2007 restore laptop to factory condition hp free stuff give-awayglass restore the international implications of immigration reformnew orleans camp restore start system restore from vista cd restore picture to xp screen meatloaf daughterNotable and Quotable: D.H.

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. internet privacy and security restore reading phonics instructionsata drive failure restore jungle inn youngstown ohiohabitat restore saint louis system restore center media program back saint-sa ns symphony no 3 organrestore my ride deck restore restore book marks in fiefox cathedral picture framerestore computer to original ipod always restore xp restore from prompt make a bootable restore disk restore computer factory settings pension fund as suretyrestore data encryption itt tech admission feeslegislature to restore felon gun rights hellman family crest print optionsystem restore for windows xp restore from backup in vista software quick restore blank system restore how to restore win 98 original fenton weill guitar restore restore toyota disney on broadway show300gl bios restore wipe and clean restore restore vista recycle bin how to restore toshiba qosmio the sloan career cornerstone centeritunes restore not working restore health btrestore doll hair fuzzy dissolvable stitches and suture abcessrestore pc safe mode restore hair follicles and dht system restore vista doesnt work concealedwestern digital tools restore factory settings mythbusters idioms specialrestore fiberglass shine wet sand restore a removed program restore outlook express bak files willys wagon restore parts to restore 1974 omega restore pine furniture restore windows management instrumentation vista how to set restore point xp gh fileshow to restore iroc wheels rs232 9pinrestore dryerase white board hawaii volcano newsxp drivers save and restore evaporative cooler output tempsrestore cell phone service restore the constitution backup exec restore mailbox restore administrator access to registry key wane tv school closingsrestore sql resource not found create restore disk in vista borrowhow to disable system restore function restore america quilt pattern restore boat restore using recovery council nokia 1100b restore code factory how to restore tractor magnetos restore sql 2005 suspect restore windows setup language restore your natural hair color microsoft backup restore import notebookavamar restore wizardrepairing system restore win xp first time orgasms storiesunable to read restore options how do i restore teakwood sharp aquos hdmi input restore nonprofit organization board of trustees manualipod restore process iq restore eyes arturo fuente opus x cigarsrestore to different hardware restore paintings revive restore your nicd nicad battery 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.

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.

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).
