Selfie was the 2013 word of the year for the Oxford University Press, publisher of the Oxford English Dictionary. Meanwhile, Lake Superior State University came out at the New Year with its annual list of words proposed for banishment from the English language. At Wayne State University, they prefer to take a positive approach. Now in its sixth year, Wayne State University has released its annual list of the year's top 10 words that its logophiles believe deserve to be used more often in conversation and prose. The Word Warriors' extensive list is composed of submissions from both administrators of the website as well as the public. New entries are posted at wordwarriors.wayne.edu, as well as on Twitter and Facebook, each week. "The English language has more words in its lexicon than any other," says Jerry Herron, dean of WSU's Irvin D. Reid Honors College and a member of the website's editorial board. "By making use of the repertoire available to us, we expand our ability to communicate clearly and help make our world a more interesting place. Bringing these words back into everyday conversation is just another way of broadening our horizons." http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/01/08/a-fug-of-mephitic-weltschmerz-wayne-states-word-warriors-list-words-worth-reviving/
