Ginormous news!

Literally. "Ginormous" has been officially added to the latest edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. I've always thought it was a fun little word, and I've noticed Gretchen uses it often, so it's nice to see it cross over from neologism to "proper" word. =)

(Side note: would you believe "ginormous" has been in use since the late 1940s? It seemed much newer a word to me, somehow.)
