2011 most looked up words
Just in case you've been wondering ( Roll Eyes) here are the most looked up words (online) in 2011. I find a few of them (a lot of them?) odd:

pragmatic
ambivalence
insidious
didactic
austerity
diversity
capitalism
socialism
vitriol
epicaricacy

I wonder if maybe pragmatic is on the list because the word is often used to describe Obama's approach?

How weird that epicaricacy is there! Were you on the committee, Kalleh? Wink

And when they reported on hurricanes, did they say, "Breaking Wind?"

Yeah, epicaricacy was a little joke. Just wishing!

Geoff, those were great words in your NYT's list.
