Let's all learn new words

The AP reports on new words in the latest edition of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and one of the most imporant ones has made the cut!

Manga: A Japanese comic book or graphic novel.

Sweet! “Ringtone” and “polyamory” have also been deemed worthy to stand the test of lexiconographic time.

    I have one talk with The Beat where the idea of a polyamorous lifestyle comes up and somehow it gets added to the OED……talk about service! But seriously though, that wasn’t already in there? Kinda surprising.

  2. Karen Strang says:

    Manga comes in at 57505 atWordcount, in between “evolutionarily” and “slaughterhouse.”
