Daggone, Anna, you didn't even give us a hint! [/whine] I thought this was neat: "Choosing the word of the year is incredibly difficult," said McKean. "Not just because of the enormous amount of data we look at ... but because everyone has such strong opinions about what makes a word Word of the Year material. You'd be amazed at how hard our editors campaign for their favorites. I'm surprised nobody tried to bribe me -- except that the only thing I really want is more cool new words!" She sounds like a cool lady!
