Etymology Fans, Unite!

Regular readers know that I am a word nerd, so it brings me great pleasure to announce that The Merriam-Webster Dictionary has added 535 new words. Usually adding new words is a process that takes a few years, but sometimes there are extraordinary circumstances where new words quickly become part of our daily discourse. Such is the case now, and so new entries include terms like social distancing, self-isolate, and WFH. You can read more about the new entries here.  Stay fly, Eagles!
