According to ReadWriteWeb, Merriam-Webster has “Facebook” currently winning the race for Word of the Year:
Of the seven new words to make this year’s short list, four owe their etymology to the web. Leading the pack: facebook. We just named Facebook as this year’s Best Web BigCo for their undeniable landscape changing impact over the past 12 months. One thing we didn’t factor, though, was their potential impact on the English language. Is it possible that Facebook could enter our lexicon the way Google has?
I don’t know about you, but “Facebook” has been a verb in my vocabulary for a while already. I suspect that it will probably inch its way into the common vernacular sooner or later.
And don’t forget to vote for the word of your choice!
