Use ‘Em or Lose ‘Em
Just came across this movement: Oxford University Press is asking you to save the words that they are presumably thinking about dropping from the dictionary. Adopt one here! I think I’ll adopt “vacivity”: such a nice way to say empitness.
And just clicking around, I found what looks to be a fascinating book about a word that is in no danger: “the F word.”
