Vote for Merriam-Webster Word of the Year 2006
December 1st, 2006The guys at Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary are asking you to submit your choice for the one single word that sums up 2006.
“Which one of the hundreds of words you’ve encountered this year do you think best represents the year now quickly drawing to a close? Maybe it’s one you’ve seen again and again in the headlines of newspapers and magazines, or one that seems to be a particular favorite in the blogosphere, or maybe it’s a word you’ve heard bandied about ad nauseam by various TV and radio pundits. No matter where you’ve seen or heard it, every word is eligible to take the top honors for 2006.”
Just enter your word and submit. The word does not even have to be indexed in the dictionary. They will accept submissions till December 4. Have a look at Merriam-Webster’s Top Ten lists from the past few years at the bottom of the page. The word “blog” topped the list in 2004. What is your nominated word for 2006?
