Here’s a story from December that may leave you…confused.

Van Dale Publishers, a Dutch dictionary company has revealed that 57% of online visitors have chosen “word of the year” for 2008. I’m not even going to describe it here, so just check out the article. Fifty-seven percent?

The second and third-place finishers were a bit more family-friendly:

The dictionary company said the second-place finisher for word of the year was "wiien" -- to play video games on the Nintendo Wii. Third was "bankendomino," an all-in-one metaphor for the recent economic phenomenon of banks falling like dominoes.
