Erin McKean and WORDNIK

I'll admit, she's super cute (in a funny, platonic way). However, I don't think her 20 minute TED talk really said much besides that fact that she hated linear dictionaries, and that she has a penchant for big words. The idea of a user submitted dictionary (urbandictionary and wikipedia) isn't new, I think her passion and her vast knowledge of the English language could give her creation the advantage. I did think it was interesting how words are not static. They are dynamic, constantly created entities that anyone can make up. This post was samiplastoic!
