If you're talking about how you promoted synergy in an organization, that could mean you just got everybody together for donuts twice a week.
From Erin McKean
All words have life cycles.
'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.
Uniforms are intended to make the wearer look as strong as possible. Soldiers could fight in leotards, but that's never going to happen because leotards aren't intimidating.
Words take on many different meanings.
We've been using 'rejuvenate,' meaning to restore youth, to make young again, as a verb for at least 200 years.
If you say 'anti-aging,' how anti would it have to be, really? My guess is not much. Any amount of sunscreen could be considered anti-aging.
There are very few good ways to get publicity for a dictionary.
All language is a popularity contest.
What I'm interested in is how people are reading and writing English.
