Oxford 'word of the year' to be put to public vote for first time
The Guardian
|November 22, 2022
The Oxford Languages "word of the year" will be decided by a public vote for the first time.
Since "the true arbiters of language" were people around the world, the company that produces the Oxford English Dictionary said the 2022 word would be decided by the English-speaking public.
Voting is open online, and over the next two weeks people can cast their vote, choosing from three words or terms selected by Oxford University Press's lexicographers, each of which is believed to capture "the mood and ethos of the last year in its own way".
