Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com both just announced their pick for Word of the Year for 2020. And they made it easy on us by both picking the same word. That's also the most obvious word.
The pick from both places is --- Drumroll please.........................
PANDEMIC!
Some of Merriam-Webster's runners-up are: coronavirus, defund, mamba (which was Kobe Bryant's nickname), kraken, asymptomatic, and malarkey.
Some of Dictionary.com's runners-up are: quarantine, social distancing, conspiracy theory, doomscrolling, superspreader, and - and Karen.
I certainly have a few words for 2020 that I'd like to add - but that's an entirely different dictionary!
