The Lexicographer's Rules

The word-of-the-year flood commences:

Grass Station is Webster’s New World’s 2007 ‘Word of the Year’.

It’s October, people. You don’t have a “word of the year.” You have a “word of the 41rst p0st!!!!”

Though at least “grass station” is better than “info-snacking,” their laughably stupid choice for 2005.

Another gem in Webster’s crown of political correctness (if not necessarily reality)?

What does that mean, Paul? From here it looks like a gratuitous and slapdash use of the new favorite catch-all complaint of the unthinking.

A “green station” is part of using plant matter to create fuels. See, plants are green. Get it? And although green can connote “good for the environment,” environmentally friendly products and businesses are hardly part of a movement of political correctness. They’re about money, but money spent with fewer side effects.

By the way, “Webster” isn’t a company, it’s a non-trademarked name used by several different publishers. So unless you meant Noah, that part of your comment doesn’t make sense, either.
