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. websphere portal 6 launch button websphere portal hosting remote ejb call using websphere websphere features apache http web server and websphere spell on websphere websphere certification training chattanooga websphere admin console store level registration in websphere commerce websphere development studio i5 os compiler websphere portal v5.1 arabic ibm websphere mq faq websphere conference websphere portal 4 pre requisites introduction to ibm websphere access host services transformation websphere websphere 6.0 info center ibm websphere micro java websphere micro environment websphere 6 fixpack 21 issues enterprise java bean websphere connection pool websphere portal server v6 labfiles ibm authorized websphere training atlanta learn websphere administration load-on-startup websphere websphere training atlanta websphere system properties websphere z os smf records apache and websphere profil websphere tester filter in in websphere view history websphere websphere commerce server tender websphere development studio ilc websphere uri has a fragment component ibm websphere micro envirement java vm websphere studio application developer expire response header websphere cache-control websphere books websphere tutorial websphere journal ora-00932 websphere websphere soap engine axis websphere failed to initialize the orb websphere business integration 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. asp websphere websphere application server deployment manager hangs apache websphere solaris delete workspace websphere ibm websphere portal passed websphere 6.0 certification websphere bpm websphere specialist websphere portal 6.0.1.1 websphere for studio client iseries training websphere commerce transport assignment websphere default deployment directory for develop websphere jsp server nd websphere xaer rmerr websphere websphere 6 x ejb workload management ibm websphere information center websphere micro environment java websphere 6 set up connection pool websphere jni websphere sap architect resume rename workspace websphere websphere apache plugin websphere pool manager junit test of ejb in websphere linux websphere notebook websphere download mobile 5 websphere virtual enterprise websphere jmx mbean ibm websphere application server websphere commerce developer retail resume websphere jndi connection pool string purpose of websphere coordinator component websphere 6 tips workload balancing websphere message broker websphere cache location culture bilinguisme websphere kerberos websphere exception websphere commerce resume websphere set up jdbc connection pool websphere micro java vm oracle identity manager stale connections websphere websphere portal installation main websphere portal fixup task failed hibernate leak websphere Notable and Quotable: D.H.

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.

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? 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).
