Word Joy 1

I love words - a good thing for a librarian. For the last few days I have been reading around the blog world about the new words accepted for inclusion in the 2007 copyright date of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition.

My favorite new word is ginormous, officially defined as “extremely large: humongous”. My favorite user of ginormous is George, host of HGTV’s “What’s With That House?”.

English is a living language. Growing. Changing.

Words come. Words go.


Word Joy!

In my book . . .
A dictionary is a great source for Word Joy!
