http://www.ted.com - Is the beloved paper dictionary doomed to extinction? When does a made-up word become real? And could you use "synecdochical" in a sentence, please? In this infectiously exuberant talk, leading lexicographer Erin McKean looks at the many ways in which today's print dictionary is poised for transformation in this internet era.

That was a great presentation. I think it was the best PowerPoint I've seen. Think of all the presentations you've been to with the charts, graphs and 20 bullet points per screen. That was top notch.

How awesome would it be to fuck her while she's talking dirty to you? You'd have to keep a god damn thesaurus by the bed. I'm in love.

She is impossibly sexy. I'm sure I would get way too irritated with her to have any kind of relationship, but she's cute... ahh well.

Clickiness... hahahaa

What's wrong with that idea? Conformity is what's holding us back, the limitless possibilities of the English language cannot be contained in the traditional model. I agree with her because every time i write a paper, most recently for my psychology class, i encounter words in articles that are undictionaried; they are, i must admit, an obsolete structure for the demarcation of our language.
