This Week in Words: June 11 - 15, 2018

No time to scour the headlines or watch the news? No problem! We’ve rounded up the top words heard, read, debated, and discussed this week.

This was a week of one step forward, one step back. Years of acrimony were put aside as President Trump and Kim Jong-Un of North Korea met in Singapore and shepherded through an historic, if somewhat cryptic, agreement. Yet mere days before, the G-7 summit, usually a model of civility, was a tense forum for petty name calling. The merger between AT&T and Time Warner may be an business success, but soon consumers might have to pay more for full internet access.

Take a look back at the week that was, vocabulary style.
