[-empyre-] turmoil

[Timothy Murray]

We just heard a news report that the Meriam-Webster English 
Dictionary reports that three of the most popular words this fall in 
the U.S.  are turmoil, precipice, and bail-out.  It appears that the 
network of catastrophe has spilled over into philology and common 
parlance where . . .  turmoil is the word.
