The front page of the online Merriam-Websters has a top lookup list that refreshes every thirty seconds. These are the first thirteen words I saw this morning. It’s interesting, some of the choices on this list.
- fritz
- Elijah
- timidly
- Jim Crow
- clammy
- anti-Semitic
- conjure
- unfortunately
- aorta
- LGBTQIA
- fleeting
- abundance
- change
That is an interesting list.
Hmm, I wonder if they words of words in the news. Fritz was a quordle word recently.
Hi, again. I’m editing my confusion of a sentence. lol Ought to be: I wonder if they use words that are in the news.
So glad to see that someone else does that kind of thing too, not just me!
That’s what I was thinking, since some of them smacked of all the Ye stories in the news.
Lots of unexpected things on that list. How absolutely intriguing!
That is fascinating! I went right over to the site and see some of the same words are still being looked up, along with Ottoman Empire. Then I had to wait and watch it refresh! What a novel 13.
M-W and I are friends, thanks to the writing job and the editing side hustle. But somehow I never paid attention to that until this morning!
Kind of a free association poem. I remember when “truthiness” was a new word in the dictionary. Seems take compared to the lies of these days. I’ve been a long hauler for 40 years plus.
Good point .. they do sound like more googled words of the day or week! Interesting!
