Sarah Palin is now in a class with William Shakespeare; one who has coined a word in the English language that has a uniquely new precise meaning that did not exist before.

You are correct, making up words is an English language tradition.

Here's one she made up the other day (about Kathleen Parker admitting she led the fight to discredit palin):

Parker: I appreciate your admittance.

Yes, indeed, but I also need to say "you betcha"!

Sometimes I think I am the only person in the world who has actually read the Introduction to the dictionary. The editors are very clear, the dictionary is “descriptive” not “prescriptive.” Despite the propensity of so many to use it as the latter.

Sarah was right when she said that English is a living language and ever evolving. Words are made and created all the time. That gave liberals a big laugh. But even the editors of the dictionary agree.

Now we witness the proof. I suspect the liberals are still laughing. Imbeciles.
