“For the first time Oxford did not select just one word or phrase, describing 2020 as “a year which cannot be neatly accommodated in one single word” and announced instead its “words of an ‘unprecedented’ year.”

Oxford Dictionaries president Casper Grathwohl, said: “I’ve never witnessed a year in language like the one we’ve just had … It’s both unprecedented and a little ironic — in a year that left us speechless, 2020 has been filled with new words unlike any other.”” (Source)

You may not care about the word of the year, but you do care about your words and message getting through. Take some tips from this feature “Provocative Language Can Be Effective” and be BOLD in your communications this year!
