If you are a CBC Canadian Broadcasting Corporation listener you may have heard this morning's piece on The Early Edition regarding the newest words to be added or officially included into the world of Merriam Webster. ( And beware the temptation of mis-spelling Merriam Webster as Miriam Webster!)
If you missed the program, you can click on the Early Edition link to hear archived broadcasts and special pod-casts, to catch the latest words, or simply explore the Merriam Webster site.
Love 'em or Leave 'em, the new words may be welcomed, or, not! Connotations of certain words do not always come with an appropriate Movies-Ratings-Style of designation, as do some other mediums, such as your local television news!
Regardless, have a read, or have a listen, at your peril, or, hopefully, at your pleasure!
Cheerfully yours,
"English-Ease!"
