Refudiate is still better than Web 2.0. Seriously, Web 2.0 iss the millionth word added to the Oxford English dictionary. It shouldn't even count as a word because it has numbers.

The level of face-palm I'm experiencing is likely enough to mine for diamonds (if said face-palm is reconstituted and made into a diamond harvesting mechanism) I'm neither irate or livid. I'm just deeply, deeply embarrassed and inspired to re-read my Lovecraft so as to update my personal vocabulary.
Nobody can refudite how gibbous that crone of a woman is. (this is why I need to re-read Lovecraft. That was the best I could do without any references but years-old memories. Also I find it funny how the word gets the red squiggly line under it...and yet 'squiggly' is considered spelled correctly!)

Seconded. I mean really, if you don't like the word, just don't use it. English has just about the largest vocabulary of all the modern languages, and people like Sarah Palin are part of the reason for that. Just get over yourselves and move on.Radeonx said:

Any idiot can run a business, and, as shown by much of the political representatives in our nation, any idiot can be a mayor and governor as well.
My anger is not fully directed at her, rather, at the state of our nation and what it deems acceptable nowadays.
Good Job OP. I can make fun of politicians too.

Seriously though, get off it. She was one letter off from an actual word, pretty much everyone intuitively knows what she meant just by looking at it, and it was a Twitter post. Not exactly a big deal.
Obama looks like Dumbo
Why the long face?

I was actually a McCain supporter-ish until Palin came along. I attended a debate at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard at which the authors of the book "Game Change" spoke about McCain wanting to pick Joe Liberman as a running mate to appeal to people like us. So my question to you is would you have voted for McCain had Liberman been the VP canidate?Jamboxdotcom said:ughhh... every breath Palin breathes makes me angry. i actually considered McCain a viable candidate until he picked Palin as his running mate. i will admit that i tend to lean a bit more to the left, but, yeah... Palin embodies pretty much everything i hate about pretty much everything. what's really scary is this new talk about Palin actually being a viable PotUS candidate for 2012damn, she makes Dubya look like a genius.
i really shouldn't post this, 'cause i'm sure some tea-partier will jump up to defend the Mad Hatter, but, yeah... she just incites me to rage.
oh, and back on topic: yeah, i am absolutely livid that they'd treat "refudiate" as a legitimate contribution to the language
Incites rage is a good choice of words.
on topic: Did they give a reason? Was it just to give her a pat on the back?
if this keeps up soon you will be able to say "I speak American" and not sound like an idiotIckorus said:
