There's a danger in writing my column early at this time of year.
Usually I write it on Monday afternoon (or morning, if I happen to finish pages before noon), then re-edit it Tuesday to put it on the page for Wednesday. The last month or so, though, I've had afternoon appointments each Monday, so I've been writing on Sunday. Last week, in addition to that Monday appointment, I also took the day off Tuesday, which meant that the Wednesday page was done Monday before I left for my appointment. All that to say: I missed two big word of the year announcements.
I know! How dare I!
And as I type this, I'm reading about Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year, but that will have to wait till next week.
