Despite my recent strictures about
bloatware, I couldn’t resist the temptation to download the free preview of
Microsoft Office 2013, even though I have not the slightest use even a fraction
of its myriad features now that my translation days are behind me. Still, I
must say it looks very nice even though the spellchecker doesn’t recognise the
word bloatware. With good reason!
What else? Oh yes, my recommendation for
the Word of the Year: challenging.
As in “the economic situation in Greece is challenging”. Synonyms: dire, hopeless, cataclysmic, catastrophic, disastrous.
