Earlier this year, I signed up for the Merriam Webster word-of-the-day service. It's a free service that sends you a different word each day along with a definition, use-it-in-a-sentence, and a word history. I originally signed up for the service in the hopes that it would help me on the GRE vocab section (I'm not convinced it's done me much good on the test or in everyday life) but I never signed off of the service because it has some fun words sometimes.

Today's word is cybrarian which apparently is "a person whose job is to find, collect, and manage information that is available on the World Wide Web." It sounds so corny to me but apparently the word has been in use since 1992. In general, I think it's funny that the web has had so much influence on new words that almost always sound so corny.
