on december 10, 2006, the merriam-webster dictionary announced that "truthiness" was selected as its 2006 word of the year on merriam-webster's words of the year, based on a reader poll, by a 5–1 margin over the second-place word "google". "we're at a point where what constitutes truth is a question on a lot of people's minds, and truth has become up for grabs", said merriam-webster president john morse. truthiness' is a playful way for us to think about a very important issue." however, despite winning word of the year, the word does not appear in the 2006 edition of the merriam-webster english dictionary. in response to this omission, during "the wørd" segment on december 12, 2006, colbert issued a new page 1344 for the tenth edition of the merriam webster dictionary that featured "truthiness". to make room for the definition of "truthiness", including a portrait of colbert, the definition for the word "try" was removed with colbert stating "sorry, try. maybe you should have tried harder." he also sarcastically told viewers to "not" download the new page and "not" glue it in the new dictionary in libraries and schools.
