The end of the year always brings up thoughts on the previous 12 months and what we hope will be better in the year to come. And, if you re so inclined (I m not), resolutions for what you hope to change.
A reader recently reminded me of a Christmas column I wrote that she enjoyed, so I thought I d share an updated version of what was originally published Dec. 20, 2017.
The last couple of columns have been devoted to Words of the Year from the biggies, Merriam-Webster (gaslighting) and Oxford Languages (goblin mode). This week, it s dictionaries that don t get the press the others do in these parts, especially since they re primarily seen as U.K. dictionaries. Still, we live in a global society, and some people (like me) love dictionaries so much that they ll search multiple sources when they re on the hunt.
