I remember when I read a word history article in the Merriam-Webster dictionary website. According to the article, Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition had one of the fake words in this quiz. Yikes. MW should have handled this issue right after it was found. By the way, HAI should be the Half as Interesting YouTube channel, right?
