From Pine View Farm

Most Looked Up Word 0

In the Philadelphia Inquirer, from the AP wire:

In a year filled with political wrangling, natural disasters and pop culture curiosities, Americans turned to Merriam-Webster to help define it all.

Filibuster. Refugee. Tsunami. Each was among the dictionary publisher’s 10 most frequently looked-up words among about seven million users of its online site.

But topping the list is a word that some say gives insight into the country’s collective concern about its values: integrity.

One would hope that most of the hits came from members of the current Federal Administration, since they have demonstrated by their words and behavior that they do not know what “integrity” means.

But probably not.
