I sporadically visit the Webster website in a weak attempt to keep my language colorful and recently noticed this page that highlighted a few of the new words incorporated into Webster for 2009. Its interesting how even in this abbreviated list, the language we use is a good indication of what our world finds important enough to create words to express. ( and how mother Mac's tenacity to add that red dotted line will never cease to amaze me)
