Webster's just added a slew of new words to the dictionary. For fellow lyric-maker-uppers, be sure to check out "mondegreen", if you haven't heard of it before.
It seems someone can just make up a word, work it into everyday language and wait a few years. Eventually, it may end up in the big book of words.
What words will you coin?
I'm working on my personal favorites:
1. Confuser - a confused user of the internet
2. Modifly - modify on the fly; make a change during an existing process or operation
...both of which were born from usability testing :)

Great post Sandy! Scary thing to me is I think it is contributing to dumbing down America. We won't even know what proper grammar is.
