Wayne State seeks to revive neglected, worthy words
DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit university thinks it knows the cure for anhedonia: rescuing words that have fallen out of linguistic favor.
Wayne State University on Wednesday released its annual Word Warriors list. It includes “anhedonia,” which means inability to feel pleasure.
Other “worthy” words it wants to see back in circulation include “fubsy,” which means fat and squat, “salubrious,” meaning healthy, and “anechdoche,” defined as a conversation in which everyone is talking but no one is listening.
The list, in its 10th year, consists of submissions from the university and the public.
Michigan’s minimum wage will go up 20 cents to $9.45 an hour
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s minimum wage will soon increase by 20 cents an hour.
The increase takes effect in late March and will make the minimum wage $9.45, up from $9.25. The boost comes amid political wrangling that’s expected to continue into court.
The $9.25 minimum wage had been set to increase by an inflationary amount this April. But a ballot drive gathered signatures for an initiative to set it at $10 this year and ultimately $12 in 2022.
Republican lawmakers adopted the citizens’ initiative only to recently scale it back with outgoing Gov. Rick Snyder.
