In keeping with the traditional end-of-the-year wrap-up, Merriam-Webster Online http://www.merriamwebster.com/info/05words.htm (a tool used pretty frequently by yours truly), has recently released the top 10 most looked-up words from last year. The results make for an interesting history lesson (not to mention social commentary). They are:
1. Integrity
2 .Refugee
3. Contempt
4. Filibuster
5. Insipid
6. Tsunami
7. Pandemic
8. Conclave
9. Levee
10. Inept
Hmm. What a year it’s been.
