What the words defenestration, peloton, cicada and blog in common?

Whenever I want to look-up a word I use Merriam-Webster's dictionary. Well MW has just published its list of most looked-up words for 2004. How reassuring to see that the number ONE spot was taken by "blog".

It is heartening to know this marvellous communications mechanism is starting to get some visibility. I bet you don't know what defenestration means! Dick Stroud:www.20plus30.com
