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. albertson ukiah california valerie edwards ukiah high adam matthew pepera and ukiah ukiah highschool 600 acres for sale in ukiah gypsy ukiah ca wine telephone book ukiah ca james r taylor ukiah ca new life community church ukiah newspaper ukiah ca ukiah triathlon ukiah deep valley school ukiah ca real estate companies ukiah union number ukiah court n state st himalyan restaurant ukiah hospital ukiah photo studio in ukiah charlie kelly ukiah real estate 600 acres ukiah ca mia hughes and ukiah california ukiah eureka airfare volunteer opportunities in ukiah ca ukiah paintball course ranches for rent in ukiah ca ukiah california redwoods for sale loveseat sleeper ukiah ca ukiah ca ukiah daily journel collage in ukiah mendocino junior college ukiah california ukiah ukiah ukiah song daniel hamff ukiah california ukiah muni ukiah wine city ukiah housing ukiah andrew porter contra dance ukiah city of ukiah california property search ukiah ca reliable mill supply ukiah ukiah county jail tres classique ukiah california ukiah speedway ukiah california for sale rain forest fantasy ukiah ukiah resturant the ukiah daily journal 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?).

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? 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. pacific pulmanary ukiah ca edward jones ukiah california hegan ukiah online in ukiah ca century 21 ukiah ukiah california city data ukiah ca movie theatre ukiah honda sunlight annual ukiah ca furniture design center eureka ukiah map of ukiah ca ukiah oregon realty women online in ukiah california truck bed liners ukiah ca homes for rent ukiah california arctic boats ukiah ukiah california chamber of commerce ukiah oregon recreation albertsons ukiah california ukiah ca zip code discovery inn ukiah ca bed and breakfast ukiah ukiah hot springs ukiah or websites ryan ukiah blue lake ukiah ca coldwell banker ukiah comfort inn ukiah california used cars in ukiah ukiah oregon relty property management ukiah ca 254 irvington drive ukiah ca car rental rates ukiah ca slate hill vineyard ukiah ca ukiah courthouse calif dr kersey in ukiah ca cow mountain blm ukiah shooting phoenix buffet ukiah sonya tribal fusion dance ukiah ukiah hospital ukiah doobie brothers yoga studios ukiah ca peter godt ukiah california natalie canby ukiah ca ukiah municipal mt st hedrin court jen haynes ukiah ukiah unified school 527 south state st ukiah ca 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).
