Since I’m a member of the ADS, I get these alerts as they happen.

These guys are the real deal. We have WOTY a year ahead of everyone else. 🙂

Read the website closely to see more useful words.

“Plutoed” sounds too much like “plateaued” to me, though. Could be cause for confusion.

I LOVE that site! What a bunch of wonderful words! My favourites are Iraqnophobia, Cliterati, Second-hand Speech, and Multislacking.

It’s very interesting looking at the older years, and seeing how the words we are so used to using are so very new.
