Top words of 2004

Merriam-Webster has compiled a list of the most researched words on its Web sites last year, and blog was number one. "Blog [short for Weblog] (1999): a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer."

And the top 10 in full...

1. blog
2. incumbent
3. electoral
4. insurgent
5. hurricane
6. cicada
7. peloton
8. partisan
9. sovereignty
10. defenestration

No bets on whether "tsunami" is 2005's number one.
