The Merriam-Webster dictionary named the word of the year 2024

The English variation of " polarization"  was awarded the title of "Word of the Year", according to the expert editorial board of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Also, it was joined in the top by descending: demure, Fortnight and totality.By the way, the second word is not related to the general context of use on the network, but specifically to the song of country singer Taylor Swift, which she released as part of a new album this year. "Polarization" was chosen as the winner of the top words of the year because it symbolizes humanity's craving for extremes, rather than a balanced center.
