I saw the "MassLive" in the url and thought the word was going to be "Wicked pissah"

I guess that would be two words, huh?   ;D

Wow!

 They had a huge list to choose from and I agree with their decision.

 I believe their choice was...well, pragmatic.

The adjective, which means practical and locgical, was looked up so often on the company's online dictionary site that the publisher said "Pragmatic" was the pragmatic choice.



  Yeah, I'm pretty much responsible for looking it up every time Denny used it in a thread.  :D

Pragmatic. Oh how I think of Denny when I hear that word. I wish it was used at work more often.
