Re: 2007 Dictionary word of the year

Wow. This is the third time today I've come across this topic. I bet Webster is rolling in his grave as we decimate his book of words.

w00t for death!!!

Re: 2007 Dictionary word of the year

that's retarded. i was listening to the radio (last year? a few months ago? something like that) and they mentioned that they added words like ginormous and something else retarded. it's so stupid that they're adding those, i don't consider them proper english, i consider them slang at best. it's too bad they're accepting poor english instead of trying to correct it.
