Really wanted to go with 'schlock' but settled on 'schism'.

I was just bringing something up that I thought would be of interest to some here. there was nothing expected, and no point.

Right, if I reacted too fast it is because the start, the point of the topic isn't very clear. Maybe you have an old, steady and proper understanding of what is expected. I don't.
Did you read the link? The M-W dictionary, instead of choosing a word of the year (as many dictionaries and language organizations do), is asking people to submit the word they think best reflects 2006.
I'll hafta think on this, too...

1. Merriam-Webster is (arguably) the biggest publisher of dictionaries in the known universe.
2. Every year, for the last several, they have picked a Word of the Year, based on word searches at their web site.
3. This year, as a change of pace, they have thrown the selection process open to vote by their users(?).
4. They probably expect the choices to be somewhat topical; i.e., relating to the year 2006.
