Happy New Year: With 2025 arriving in just a few hours, itโs that time again to compile the so-called words of the year, i.e., those that prestigious or perceived prestigious or influential dictionaries say rose to the top of the online search hierarchy.
Itโs that time of year again when we find out what words/phrases get on everybodyโs nerves the most, along with the words of the year, i.e., those that online dictionaries say rose to the top of the search hierarchy.
It’s been a tough year for everyone on many levels, but as this blog also inquired last year at this time, what word or words that gained currency or continued to in 2020 get on your nerves the most?
