The American Dialect Society (ADS) picked “google” (the verb) as the hottest word of the decade. ADS chairman Grant Barrett said the selection “is a product of the Information Age, where every person has the ability to satisfy curiosity and to broadcast to a select following, both via the Internet.” Runners-up included “9/11", “blog”, “text”, “Wi-Fi” and “war on terror.”
The ADS also announced the “Word of the Year.” “Tweet” took the top spot beating out “H1N1”, “birther”, “fail”, “public option” and “Dracula Sneeze.” What's a "Dracula Sneeze'? Click here to find out!
