"Distracted Driving" is one Word of the Year: Here we go

Webster's New World has announced that "distracted driving" is the word of the year, beating out such contenders as "wallet biopsy" and "too big to fail." Visit http://newworldword.com/ for the complete story, and check out the Visual Thesaurus's related commentary on hypallage, http://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wordroutes/2053/.

My word of the year is "relatable" meaning "sympathetic." My students are all using it. Alas! it's so limp.
