Commentation<\/span><\/h2>\n

We were in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for a few days on our road trip.\u00a0 (See the daily photos on my facebook page.)\u00a0 We took a hike one day in one of the city parks that borders the lake and we overheard a young lady say: “So I posted it and right away there was a lot of commentation.”\u00a0 I knew immediately that I had heard a new word and that it is useful new word.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since then I have had to defend the word against the word conservatives who say that “commentary” means the same thing.\u00a0 But it doesn’t.\u00a0 Commentary is organized and on topic.\u00a0 “Commentation” is free form and disorganized.\u00a0 Commentary is marching.\u00a0 Commentation is rambling. Commentary is letters to the editor.\u00a0 Commentation is social media.<\/p>\n

Embrace this word:<\/p>\n
