On #WOTY process: "We have this data that shows us 300 words a year that people nominate that we filter out. Some of them are neologisms. We get the full range of things that fit all the trends...that's really informative and interesting." -Kelly Wright #AmericanDialectSociety

"Era" was also considered by #AmericanDialectSociety. "It is interesting the way this old word is getting used in new ways - in my 'blank' era. In my flop era and my slay era. All these different eras in addition to, of course, Taylor Swift's Eras tour." -Ben Zimmer #ThatWordChat

"Enshittification," was chosen for #WOTY by #AmericanDialectSociety because it had all the hallmarks of a successful neologism. It is memorable and endlessly adaptable. - Kelly Wright and Ben Zimmer, #AmericanDialectSociety

Ehkä vähän vahingossa hörähdin. :D American Dialect Society on valinnut vuoden sanaksi termin joka kuvaa sitä että plättäri on ensin hyvä käyttäjilleen, sit yrittää rahastaa niillä kunnes kaikilla on kurjaa ja sitten romahtaa, pikaisesti suomentaen 'p***auttaminen'.
