So\u2026 here is a selection of the comments supporting the choice of each of our WOTY nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>climate Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It is a perfect metaphor for a too-often conflictual relationship between science and politics. Scientists make measurements and say \u201cWatch out, the climate is changing\u201d;, then predict possible outcomes based on current mathematical models. Politicians project scientists&#8217; recommendations onto their electoral base and then, depending on the magnitude of the estimated loss of consensus, become either stark negationists or vociferous supporters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>contact tracing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I chose this word because i&#8217;ve been quarantined twice this year so i&#8217;ve been out of school almost as much as i&#8217;ve been in school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>essential worker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Our media and educational system often praise people who have jobs that are powerful, even if they don&#8217;t make a significant contribution to society. For example, people who inherit wealth or Wall Street stock traders often make millions of dollars without having significant knowledge, moral virtue, or a valuable skill. Workers who have knowledge, virtue and skill often go unrecognized and unappreciated, because they don&#8217;t have power. Calling them \u201cessential\u201d can make us more aware of this injustice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Furlough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Thousands of working people have been in furlough in this Covid-19 year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hero<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Heroes make many selfless decisions and sacrifices to protect others. \u201cOrdinary people\u201d now find themselves living in uncertain and dangerous times among the pandemic and the political landscape of division. Trusting instincts and science, unsuspecting people have stepped up to become front-line healthcare soldiers, vaccine volunteers, quarantined nursing home residents, essential workers (grocery shoppers, tradespeople, small business owners, etc.), First Responders, neighbors, friends and family members who social distance, wear a mask, and patronize threatened local small businesses, are the heroes of 2020.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patriotism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The real patriots have come out to support the country and not destroy and loot it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quarantine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>So many people have been quarantined or know someone who has been this year due to the pandemic (which would have been my first choice for WOTY).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Racism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It is at the heart of many of our problems including higher COVID-19 mortality rates for Blacks. There is a lack of understanding about what ot is and how it operates, particularly at the systemic level. It drove protests across the country both on the Left (against it) and on the Right (for it, though they&#8217;d deny that). A lot of people think it\u2019s an overt act and not a way of life or way of thinking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social distancing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Although several other words have taken on significance this year, they are generally familiar and could be or have been applied to several years\u2026. I chose \u201csocial distancing\u201d as a term that, I believe, was coined for the pandemic (though maybe not), has a very clearly defined meaning, and that represents a substantial burden and painful experience of 2020.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Other words on this list reflect the unique stress the Covid pandemic put on the world, but this introduced a new concept we are all acutely aware of now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Structure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Saying that \u201cstructural\u201d change &nbsp;is needed points to deeper changes than just changing attitudes or even policies. We have begun to talk about changing our institutions, not just our policies \u2013 and hopefully making them more \u201cdemocratic\u201d. There are Republicans and Democrats who want more democracy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wordsmyth educational mission is to foster awareness of how words work in communication, and our WOTY nominations this year have drawn attention to the way words work in society. \u00a0This has been such an extraordinary year&#8212;bringing many new words and concepts to our attention&#8212;that Oxford Dictionaries couldn\u2019t choose one word as their word of &#8230; <a title=\"Progress update on WOTY 2020\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blog2.wordsmyth.net\/help\/2020\/11\/26\/progress-update-on-woty-2020\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Progress update on WOTY 2020\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":177826,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-177754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-announcements","tag-28"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Progress update on WOTY 2020 - Wordsmyth Help Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blog2.wordsmyth.net\/help\/2020\/11\/26\/progress-update-on-woty-2020\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Progress update on WOTY 2020 - Wordsmyth Help Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Wordsmyth educational mission is to foster awareness of how words work in communication, and our WOTY nominations this year have drawn attention to the way words work in society. \u00a0This has been such an extraordinary year&#8212;bringing many new words and concepts to our attention&#8212;that Oxford Dictionaries couldn\u2019t choose one word as their word of ...
