New word
New Scientist reports that The American Dialect Society has chosen
"plutoed" as its 2006 word of the year meaning to demote or devalue.
Pluto is no longer a Planet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto
IMO it should catch on in both the US and UK.

Dave Fawthrop <dave hyphenologist co uk> Google Groups is IME the *worst*
method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.
