True 'justice': not having to be annually subjected to a 'word of the year.'
Great choice!
Maybe because it is so difficult to find justice today in our courts? Revenge against the poor and the weak is not Justice! Congratulations to Merriam-Webster for forcing us to reconsider what Justice really means!
3 word nerds
Smocking
Wow, people here are literally arguing with a dictionary to maintain cognitive dissonance. Sad. Poignant.
I thought for sure (investigation) would be the front runner followed by (collusion) and (lied)
There needs to be justice done to the Democrats that are doing all the cheating/lying & voter Fraud !
An ephemeral word.
Even Webster is liberal, what a world
Should have been “tyranny”
I believe that the judicial system is confused what the word 'justice' means.
Nothing like more politics getting rammed down your throat from a dictionary
Or was it because Americans suddenly remembered what 'justice' is?
There are two flavors of justice. Vigilante and legal. Vigilante fills the void left by a lack of legal justice.
Anyone who thinks this should be word of the year is a tool
Lets use it in a sentance. 'Justice the Republicans swept into power in 2016, the Dems did in 2018' 8^D Probably doesn't fit the AP style guide.
As in 'Equal Justice' or................?
Justice is coming.
Everyon has an opinion on what is or isn’t just but when their called on to participate in the system, they roll their eyes and try to get out of it as if involvement is a burden. Justice JuryDuty WordOfTheYear should have been Phony or Hypocrite
Saucy! I approve.
MerriamWebster: justice OxfordDictionary: toxic Dictionarycom: misinformation All appropriate words for the crazy 2018 news cycle. 🙂
I hope we seek it and find it
As in perversion of?
We all have.
Safe choice... as no one can argue that justice is not on their side.
MerriamWebster has done the most epic trolling in 2018! Bravo my dictionary friend. You are my hero! 3
“Injustice” would be more appropriate

Merriam-Webster has chosen 'justice' as its 2018 word of the year, driven by the churning news cycle over months and months. The word follows 'toxic,' picked by Oxford Dictionaries, and 'misinformation,' plucked by Dictonary.com. Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster's editor at large, told The Associated Press ahead of Monday's announcement that 'justice' consistently bubbled into the top 20 or 30 lookups on the company's website, spiking at times due to specific events but also skating close to the surface for much of the year. A significant amount of people seriously needed to lookup the meaning of the word “justice”? That explains too much The clothing shop by the same name must be happy. Approved.

Merriam-Webster's 2018 word of the year is 'justice''For many reasons and for many meanings, one thing’s for sure: justice has been on the minds of many people in 2018,' an associate editor for Merriam-Webster said in a statement. Oh boy! Just wait til 2019!! Trump pardons Kristian Saucier, former sailor jailed for submarine pictures I’m surprised it wasn’t “Collusion” or “Indictment.”
