American Linguists Name Word of the Decade
You'll be surprised.
Linguists from the American Dialect Society named the word of the past decade — it was the word “they,” used in the plural form to refer to all people, regardless of their gender. This is reported by The Guardian.
The association also noted that in correspondence, people now specify from the outset which pronoun should be used for them: “he, she, her,” etc.
Other candidates for the “word of the decade” were “#BlackLivesMatter,” “climate,” “#MeToo.”
Previously, the Dictionary of the Modern Ukrainian Language named the word of the year — it was the word “digitalization.”
