Subject: Word of the Year



My votes are for

1) sylvanshine

2) spamming

3) vegetal leather

4) fetal reduction

5) polydoxy

6) neither -- I have a write-in candidate:

    Langscape -- the language/culture portion of one's total worldview



This word was coined during this past year by an American Indian, Sakej

Youngblood Henderson, to improve my clumsy phrasing of 'wordworld'.



(PS -- I would have placed 'morph' in category 5, most promising, rather than 2.)
