Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

While Collins attempts to exuviate another 24 words from its latest edition, it shows that this olid group of oppugnant, niddering recrement have decided to be abstergent with the language rather than be roborant. An act which even the most minutely fatidical could vaticinate. I shall therefore vilipend them for trying to embrangle the public with their attempt to prove the caducity of the language is apodeictic. This agrestic caliginosity further proves they wish to show a rather griseous outlook for the future of the language. It is most likely that they have been afflicted by a malison which instead of imparting a sense of mansuetude or even muliebrity, has instead made it compossible for people with so much intellect, to actually know fubsy. Perhaps the skirr of passing southbound geese will act as a periapt, granting them a view of the future of the language that is more nitid than before.

There. If that doesn't help keep them in the dictionary, I don't know what will. 🙂

Martha-

Here is my attempt at securing caducity a place in modern dictionaries. http://www.visioninthesound.com/2008/11/best-way-to-arm-yourself-yes-i-am-word.html#links
